Come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind! (Psalm 66:5, NIV)
Who likes to listen to the gory or glorious details of your round of golf? As in genuinely wants to hear you dissect an 82. In adulthood, my dad was probably the one person who hung on every word and asked follow-up questions, often lamenting (or boasting!) that he’d done the same.
For some groups, the post-round breakdown in the grill room is the highlight of the day, and understandably so!
What if we were as eager to talk about what God is doing in our lives as much as our “sandy” from a plugged lie?
I’ve been humming the song Look What The Lord Has Done all week. If you’re unfamiliar with this classic, do a quick Google search and watch a few music videos. You’ll be tapping your foot and bouncing around in no time. It’s an instant mood-changer. The kind of praise song that gets down in your bones. Why?

When God opens a bolted door; when He meets a need; when He heals – it must be shared!

Because, as believers, we can’t help but rejoice when we think about our Savior! The Psalmist captures it best by writing, “Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.” (Psalm 105:1-2, NIV)
As Christians, we don’t believe in crazy coincidences. We don’t buy into blind luck. We believe in the supernatural, the spirit-guided, and the miraculous. When God opens a bolted door; when He meets a need; when He heals – it must be shared!
Not in a boastful way, of course. But instead, pointing solely to the King, the Way Maker, the God of miracles.
My friends, look what the LORD has done! In our finances, our careers, and our families.
After Jesus healed the demon-possessed man in Luke 8, he told him, “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” Remember, your encouraging anecdote might be what someone needs to hear TODAY to point them toward Jesus!
PRAYER – Father God, we thank you for the awesome opportunity to share the Good News!
