Have you ever noticed how a person in love always talks about the object of his/her affection? I'm not just talking about relationships; the guy who loves football will gravitate to others who share his passion for the game & talk about it constantly. The same holds true about politics, fishing, hunting, or any number of other loves. Well, God's special treasure, His segula, are those who love to get together to share of His goodness & mercy!
I believe that the world is looking to see if those of us who call ourselves Christians are for real. They look to see if we're really different, especially during this time of recession. Bros/Sis, it's during the dark times that we should talk about the Lord & at every given opportunity we should speak to others about God's Blessings and how He answers prayer.
In the Book of Malachi, God looked down on this sinful earth, saw man's heatheness/idolatry & He probably said, "I didn't make them for that, I made them to love me & to fellowship with me. No one seemed to care much about knowing Him...except His remnant (segula). God eavesdropped on them & He enjoyed what He heard so much that He had it written down in the Book of Remembrance.
That's what God does, He listens to our conversation/prayers/testimonies about Him & He calls on an angel to take notes so He can have a permanent record of what was said/who said it.
Even today the Lord still eavedrops; He continues to listen to us talking about Him in our churches, in our homes, at school, in the workplace & in our private conversations...and it brings a smile to His face!
When was the last time you made God smile?
