What’s the latest God gossip? That’s one question you never hear voiced around the water cooler at work! Yet, God keeps a journal of all the things we talk about concerning him.
One of the heavenly scribes jots our name and our God gossip down in God’s Book of Remembrance. “Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name” (Malachi 3:16 NIV).
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I wince when I think about that journal:
- Is there much written next to my name?
- What did I say?
- Did it sound like I even knew what I was talking about?
- Dang, if I knew he was taking notes, I would have said more!
Thankfully the bad gossip doesn’t end up in God’s journal. He only writes down the good stuff—the stuff of grace. Funny how much our mouth contributes to the Holy in our daily. “My mouth shall recount your mighty acts and saving deeds all day long; though I cannot know the number of them” (Psalm 71:15).
What’s your God gossip today? What has God been up to that you have heard about, and how much of that information have you passed on to others?
