What Does Your Testimony Look Like?

Sunday morning I was challenged on many levels, enlarging my heart, my mind, my understanding of who God really is...

One thing really stuck out for my though and that was the statement that "your testimony won't be about all the bad things that happened to you that God saved you from, but rather it might be about all the bad things that God protected you from." Or at least it went something like that. Many of us never did all the "bad" things (drugs, smoking, drinking, stealing...) that some do that God saves them from and they have this "great" testimony that a lot of us can't identify with, but are amazed at how God had continually restored them after they went through so many hard years.

Some of us came from good homes, actually made mostly good decisions and feel like we don't have a marvelous testimony to share. But what if we looked back on our lives and testified on all the things that God had protected us from through the years. All those times when we were about to make a bad decision and we didn't, we were going to speed, but chose to slow down, the times we were going to go home one way, but decided to take another route only to find out that there had been a terrible car accident on the route we were going to take right around the time we would have driven by. God is always with us and I think so many times we really don't realize how involved in our lives He is, I'm guilty of it, that I know.

It got me thinking about my life and when I think back I can testify to many, many times that God protected me. I didn't necessarily know it then, but looking back, I see it so very clearly and I thank God for ALWAYS being by my side weather I acknowledge Him or not.

"Yet I am always with you, you hold me by my right hand." Psalm 73:23

WOW, I AM is always with me! Thank you Jesus!
