Talk - Talk - Talk

"Talk, talk, talk - all you do is talk!" Have you heard those words or said them to anyone? People say that "talk is cheap", but the Psalmist in Psalm 71 (ESV) says, "Talk!" "My mouth is filled with Your praise and with glory all the day." (v.8) "My mouth will tell of Your righteous acts, of Your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge." (v.15) "With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come; I will remind them of Your righteousness, of Yours alone." (v.16) "So even to the old age and grey hairs, [and I have many!] O God, do not forsake me until I proclaim Your might to another generation, Your power to all those to come." (v.18) "My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You..." (v.23) "And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long..." (v.24).
So speak up! As for me, I will fill my mouth with the praises of God and will glorify Him with my lips. I will tell others of God's righteous acts and deeds, of HIs power and of His help. I will proclaim and remind and shout and tell and sing so that all my hear about and come to know the great God I love and serve. He is my Rock of Refuge to which I may continuallly come. (Ps. 71:3)
