It's Time to Speak Up

I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. (Ps 9:1-2)

I’ve read verses like this for many years, but I don’t think I ever got the idea that I might do this before men. I guess I always pictured myself in my prayer closet praising God and “telling of his wonders.” Funny thing, I never saw how silly it would be to “tell his wonders” in a closet! But now God has been convicting me that I have been too private and too timid. I need to be more transparent. I want God to reign in my heart and in my thoughts, and I want to let that shine through in my speech. I must stop filtering my speech of all spiritual content. For years I have done this. It is a habit I will now break by the power of the Holy Spirit. Lord, I want to tell of all your wonders. I want to sing your praises to all who will listen! Make me bold!
