Psalm 26:7 - (KJV) I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord that I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

Psalm 26:7 - (MSG) I scrub my hands with purest soap, then join hands with the others in the great circle, dancing around your altar, Singing God-songs at the top of my lungs, telling God-stories



Do you remember the old 70's sitcom That's My Mama?  If Junior, Clifton's best friend, had some juicy news, he'd burst into the house and say, "I got it, I got it, and I've GOT to report it!"

Now, granted, Junior usually had some gossip to spew, but don't you think we should have the same level of excitement when it comes time to tell others about the good things God has done in our lives?  I've been in fellowships where the devil got more accolades than the Almighty.  That ain't right! 

If we truly believe that God is good and that we are on the winning side, we need to act like it.  Winning college football teams don't calmly sit on the sidelines and sip Gatorade when a great play is made.  They jump up, dance, shout, chest bump, and pour ice buckets full of Gatorade on the coach!  The band doesn't take that moment to go get a hot dog; they grab their instruments and play like there's no tomorrow.  In other words, they tell it, and they celebrate!

That should be us.
