Podcast 31.4 Transcript
Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s think about this.
This is my story this is my song
And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 1 John 5:11 ESV
Before we find the assurance of eternal life in Jesus, we are each living a very different story. When we find rest in what He has accomplished for us our story changes dramatically as we begin to testify or tell the world the story of Jesus with our lives.
Praising my Savior all the day long
Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting. Psalm 147:1 ESV
One of the ways we testify is by giving praise to God. Sometimes we speak that praise and other times we sing it, but most importantly it becomes our way of life. Is praising your Savior something you do regularly, or occasionally? Commit to doing it more every day.
This is my story this is my song
The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 ESV
The Lord is our story and our song, because He has become our salvation. For this reason we make the commitment, like the Psalmist here to praise and exalt Him. He is not only someone we sing about, and sing to, He actually is the song itself. Think about that.
Praising my Savior all the day long
My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all the day. Psalm 71:8 ESV
Mouths filled with praise makes sense, but what do you think it means for our mouths to be filled with glory? When we are declaring His praise our mouths are filled with the glory of who He is, and this should be the case all day, every day. Use your mouth for glory.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more, with the refrain.
This is my story this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
Take the mindfulness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time,
Be Resonant.
