Psalm 48:12-14 Walk about Zion, go all around it,
count its towers,
consider well its ramparts;
go through its citadels,
that you may tell the next generation
that this is God,
our God for ever and ever.
He will be our guide for ever.
Telling the story is what the life of faith is all about. The psalmist wants the people to walk around and take a good look at Zion (Jerusalem) and take in all the fortifications, take in all the strength of the holy city. Why? So they can tell the next generation about how good and strong and faithful God is. Encounters with God in the Bible are riddled with this justification and this call to tell people about it. God saved the people from slavery so they could tell the nations about God. Jesus healed the blind man so that his (Jesus') glory would be revealed. We exist to tell the story. We are saved to tell the story. We are healed to tell the story.
What story is your life telling today?
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
