00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.720
Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy.

2
00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:09.200
When it was said among the nations, the Lord has done great things for them, the Lord has

3
00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:13.560
done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.

4
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.320
Psalm 126, verses 2 and 3.

5
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:17.860
Laughter is evidence.

6
00:00:17.860 --> 00:00:22.680
God restored His people and the proof showed up in their mouths before it showed up anywhere

7
00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:23.680
else.

8
00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:27.080
It came out as laughter and singing at the same time.

9
00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:32.280
And the nations around them noticed and drew their own conclusions about who God is.

10
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.020
Your joy is louder than you think it is.

11
00:00:35.020 --> 00:00:40.340
People are watching how you carry heavy things and they're taking notes on your God.

12
00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:44.120
That doesn't mean performing happiness that you don't feel, absolutely not.

13
00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:47.820
Fake laughter is exhausting and everybody knows it's fake.

14
00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:49.260
Everybody can tell, right?

15
00:00:49.260 --> 00:00:53.000
But when God does something good in your life, let yourself enjoy it out loud.

16
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.320
Tell somebody.

17
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.680
Laugh at the ridiculous timing of it.

18
00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:03.600
Gratitude kept quiet is still gratitude, and gratitude spoken out loud becomes testimony.

19
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:04.599
Here's what I want you to do today.

20
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.920
I want you to tell one person about a good thing that God has done lately.

21
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:09.920
Sound good?

22
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:11.200
Let's see what happens.
