It works for me. A truthful witness can only speak for himself. As much as we desire the truth to work for others, it is useless unless it first works for ourselves. Pretend like the only one in the room is God and you. Whatever good there is in the truth, it needs to work for you. Ask not, if it works for others. Only ask, if it works for you. If this is done, all is well done. “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32 KJV).
Testimony
The Countenance of My Health
“I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright” (Leviticus 26:13 KJV). From the notes of a long departed sister, a testimony of hope and faithfulness.
My teeth are healed.
They are white and strong.
My incision is firm
As I sing my song.
I am healed and whole
From my head to my feet.
My family has health
And plenty to eat.
“The Lord is my portion!” [Psalm 119:57]
Saith my soul.
He took my infirmities
And made me whole.
“Faith is substance!” [Hebrews 11:1]
I shout this call.
For I am made perfect
In the presence of you all.
Father, may we all have such bold, quiet confidence in You, that You would never deny us. Grant that all Your people will say, You are the “health of my countenance and my God” (Psalm 43:5). In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
My Redeemer Liveth
Jōb repeated more about Bible prophecy and End Times in a passing soliloquy than many a church member has carefully studied. “For I know that my redeemer [God is our salvation] liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day [Prophecy of End Times] upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God [Bodily Resurrection]: Whom I shall see for myself [Second Coming of Jesus Christ], and mine eyes shall behold [Face To Face With Yahweh], and not another” (Job 19:25-27 KJV). This is the oldest book of the Bible, repeated under monumental stress, before there was even a written canon of Scripture. Humbling! May we aspire to testify as much with our lives!
Ordinary People
“When they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and discovered that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were amazed and recognized these men had been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13 NET). Despise not the day of small things for the LORD takes note of you. Your life is a testimony of Him and speaks loudly of His wisdom and power in making you able to live life the way He intended. We need not compare our lives with others, for it would be proud and unwise. Instead, we need to resolutely gaze upon “Jesus the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2 KJV), for He is our prize. Hallelujah!
