To be recognized for doing good things can be humbling. Who doesn’t like to be recognized? But when we look at the word “Lord” in Deuteronomy 3:24, we find that the Hebrew word is “Adonai.” Adonai is a wonderful adjective describing God. It means “master,” and when applied to our lives, it can be quite powerful.
When I read the word “master,” it implies the relationship between master and servant. As Christians, we are called to be servants of the Lord Jesus. As we concentrate on His mastership, we must ask ourselves if He is truly Master of our lives? Is He allowed full access to every nook and cranny in our spiritual walk? What does this have to do with today’s verses? Let me show you.
When I was in the work force, I was quite proud of those leaders I supported. I was proud of the business they had built, and would brag about them to anyone who would ask me where I worked. As a Christian, a servant of the Lord Jesus, do I brag on Him? Do I tell others of what He has done, not only in my life, but also in the world? Verse 2 asks, “Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth ALL his praise?”
Why would anyone want to be employed at your workplace if all they hear are complaints? It’s no different with leading others to the Lord. They need to hear of His mighty acts – they need to hear praises of what He has done in your life! The biggest praise for any believer is the fact that He saved you from the path you were on; the one that led to eternal damnation. Amen? Thank You, Lord!!! This same God created the universe and all that is in it! The beauty of a waterfall, or the sound of a babbling brook, the precious newborn baby, are examples of His power! His magnificence is revealed in all things!
So recognize our Master, our Adonai God, and share all the good things He has done in your life. Share your blessings, His goodness and mercy. Remind those around you the reason you are a Christian! Shew forth all His praise!
