There’s a heartwarming song that gospel recording artist Helen Baylor sings in which the lyrics state, “If it had not been for the Lord on my side, where would I be, where would I be?”  That’s a really good question when we think about some of the shattering things that occurred in some of our lives and yet we are still here to talk about how our lives were spared, or how we maintained our sanity.  It’s all because of the sovereignty and grace of God.  Reflecting on this led me to write, “3 Powerful Reasons to Share Your Testimony.”  

 

Gives Glory to God

Expressing your gratitude to God lets Him know that you honor Him and that you know without a shadow of a doubt that your situation would not have gotten better without His divine intervention.  Testifying about His goodness gives all of the praise to Him.  

 

Reminds You of God’s Faithfulness

As we go through life we will experience various tests.  Knowing that God is with us at all times and is willing to help us gain victory in every area is a fuel that reminds us that if He helped us before He will surely do it again.

 

Provides Hope for Others

Many people feel alone and as if their circumstances are impossible to fix.  Hearing what God has done for someone else often provides the encouragement needed to trust that the Lord will do the same for them.

 

Reflections

  • Do you have a specific testimony that you can share with someone that will bring encouragement to them? Ask the Lord to lead you to the person(s) that needs to hear it and share it with them.

 

  • What is one of the most amazing things God has done for you?

 

  • Do you feel closer to the Lord while you’re waiting for Him to work out what seems to be an impossible situation? How do you feel while you’re waiting?
