Devotion:
If we do accept that there is no greater power than God, then we must accept that whatever comes our way is His will. To make sure that we continue to support, praise and fear God, we must make sure that we continue in His Will. Part of that will is to make sure that we continue to spread the gospel as Christ Himself reminded us. When we display the hope without end that we have in Christ, we are spreading The Word. But more than that, we should be willing to tell others what is held within our bibles. We may not be able to find the words to tell them about Christ, but if we repeat Christ’s Words to them, then they will be willing to listen as we did once. It is not the description of others that will convince us, but the Word of God itself that will convince us that God is real.

We have to then make sure that we are willing to repeat God’s Word to those around us. We must be willing to recount the gospel in part. There is no way that we are all going to be like A. Scourby who was able to record the whole King James bible for people to listen to, but we can give people an insight by being able to recount a verse or two.
Why? Because when we are able to recount God’s Word it will show others that it means something to us. When we hear people recount poems it is because it means something to them. When we show others that God’s Word mean something to us, it will allow them to know that it is real and they will not push it aside as quickly as if we had to read it from a piece of paper or book.
It does not stop after we have told one person about God. We need to continue to be willing to show people about God and to encourage others. No matter how many generations there are between us and the hearer, be it our grand parents or our grand children, we need to be able to show them we care about God’s Word.
