Evidence: Write about it!

You can't hold in your hands a chunk of God's love.

You can't take a photo of Him, or of His promises, but God does give you evidence of his attributes and activity in your life.

He gives tangible evidence of His love, His power to help, His creation, protection, guidance, forgiveness, His attention to your prayers, and His answers.

“God has blessed his people – just look at the evidence!” (2 Chronicles 31:10b, The Message).

“ … But [God] never left them without evidence of himself and his goodness. For instance, he sends you rain and good crops and gives you food and joyful hearts” (Acts 14:17 NLT).

“There's no end to what has happened in you—it's beyond speech, beyond knowledge. The evidence of Christ has been clearly verified in your lives” (1 Corinthians 1:4, The Message).

“The poor and the homeless are desperate for water.… But I'm there to be found, I'm there for them, and I, God of Israel, will not leave them thirsty. I'll open up rivers for them on the barren hills, spouts of fountains in the valleys. I'll turn the baked-clay badlands into a cool pond.… Everyone will see this. No one can miss it—unavoidable, indisputable evidence that I, God, personally did this...” Isaiah 41:17-20 (The Message).

“You have all this evidence confirmed by your own eyes and ears. Shouldn't you be talking about it...?” (Isaiah 48:6, The Message).

This is important: Remember … that your children were not the ones who saw and experienced … the Lord,… his majesty, his mighty hand…. It was not your children who saw what he did for you in the desert until you arrived at this place… Deuteronomy 11:2-7 (NIV).

Do you grasp what those words mean? They mean you have a story inside that only you can share. You need to write your stories!

Let this be said of you and of me:

“Our children will hear about the wonders of the Lord.

His righteous acts will be told to those yet unborn.

They will hear about everything He has done.”

(Psalm 22:30-31 NLT)
