Then God puts me in a situation where I share what He's doing in my life, what He's speaking to my heart, what He's promised me and I remember how good He is! I remember how He provides for me, how He loves me, how He's spoken into my life. I remember how I've seen His hand even in supposedly negative situations, and I know that He's working. I start to testify to what I know He's done and who I know Him to be, and my perspective completely changes.
I once heard someone say something about the Israelites; they messed up all the time. When they messed up, they were complaining, worrying, being impatient, bored or something like that, but they weren't focusing on God. The times when they were blessed and things were going well, they were remembering what God had done for them in taking them out of Egypt and how He was providing for them and taking them somewhere better. When they took their eyes off God, they thought everything was bad and going wrong but once they put their eyes back on God, they were blessed and they could see the power and love of the God that rescued them.
Seriously, testifying to what God has done, is doing, and will do does something. Not only does it stir up your spirit, but it's also a form of worship I think, to attribute the work God does to Him and to say here's some solid ways that God is good. It makes your faith stronger too because You know who God is and you have testimony to back it up and then your faith is growing and your dreams get bigger and your trust reaches further and God can use you more and entrust you with more work to do for the kingdom. When God can trust you with more, what's better than that?
When God's giving you more to do in the kingdom, you're walking out the life Jesus calls us to walk. A life filled with hope, wonder, light, truth, love.
This song is incredible, God's been really speaking to my heart through it.
