Talk and Walk

“For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.” Psalm 32:6

There is no greater tool to use that will bring others to the wonderful saving grace of CHRIST than the personal testimony of the believer.  No other act can be compared to telling others what CHRIST has personally done in your life.  They will see themselves in your testimony.  This is what David has done in the first five verses of this Psalm.  Now he sees the outcome. “For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:”

There are and always be those that refuse the grace of GOD, just as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be today (Matthew 24:37-39).  But the fact remains, the personal testimony of the believer has much to do with the salvation of the one that will listen and turn. “surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.”

The personal testimony doesn’t end at the day of salvation but continues in the real life of those that claim CHRIST.  If all we have is a story of how we were saved and then live a life that is unbecoming of the LORD we cause more trouble than we do peace.  We will be the cause of the destruction of others.  

There was one that cared for me

That told me of the SAVIOR.

The life he led was pure and sweet.

Above all he was of good behavior.

I saw in him a life I wanted,

His testimony, it was real.

It was the way he lived his life,

That brought such great appeal.

Thank you David Pettis.
