A Diehling Devotional   


We recently took some friends to Redding’s Sundial Bridge, a major tourist attraction here in California.  As we walked along, we noticed a man with his ear pressed against one of the long cables, tapping on it.   He had a huge smile on his face.   We watched him tell  his friend to try it, and the friend got all excited.   We veered over that direction to investigate.  We asked them, “What’s up over here?”       They invited us, with excitement,  to put our ears on the cable and tap on it.    We did, and the sound produced by tapping on the cable with a fixed ear was like musical chords the likes of which I had never heard.   It was like a star wars harp sounding a note from heaven and back.    The thrill of it was contagious.   We spread the news to some nearby kids, who soon had their friends and family checking out the discovery.    It was a joyous moment…..especially when we started to talk about the parallels with the gospel.   Isn’t that the way we should be spreading the greatest good news of all time?    With joy and wonderment at the thrill of it all, a discovery we have to pass on in contagious fashion……Jesus is.  So, to the Son Dial in.

Ps 9:1-2
I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders.
I will be glad and rejoice in you;  I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long,
though I know not its measure.    I will come and proclaim your mighty acts,

Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
Glory in his holy name;  let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
