In Acts 4, we read…
for we cannot
stop speaking about what we have seen and heard. When they had threatened them
further, they let them go (finding no basis on which to punish them) on account of
the people, because they were all glorifying
God for what had happened...
The disciples were talking about Jesus, his
mighty acts, his love, his healings, etc.
They had been with Jesus, walked with him, observe and experienced his
power, and they were speaking about it.
It seems that we talk about whatever is real and
happening in our lives at the moment, because that’s what is on our minds. If our team is winning, we talk about
sports. If we feel bad, we talk about
our ailment. If we just experienced a success, we want others to rejoice with
us.
These guys were talking about Jesus.
If we’re not talking about Him, then maybe we
haven’t been walking with him and experiencing him lately.
We can ask God to open our eyes to his goodness,
mercy, and grace in our lives and to increase our awareness of his hand in
everything we do.
And then, we can choose to glorify those things
in our speech, so that others too hear, and believe.
