“Let the whole earth be filled  with His glory. Amen and Amen” (Psalms 72:19) 
                This is the last line of the  last Psalm of King David. For God to fill the world with His glory is the best  possible thing for the world, so it isn’t presumptuous to ask God to do so. But  if you ask God to fill the world with His glory and you’re not helping promote His  glory, you need to examine your heart. 
                 
                I knew a saint who was given an  opportunity to share the Gospel with a dying friend, but  kept his mouth shut. He asked me later what I  thought about it. I told him, “next time, die to yourself and speak the truth  in love”. 
                 
                Dear saint, if you’re afraid to  share Christ, turn your eyes to Calvary. Behold Your Lord nailed to the cross,  with the thorn-crown about His brow, with bleeding head, and hands, and feet.  What! can you look upon this miracle of miracles, the death of the Son of God,  without feeling within your heart a marvelous adoration that words can’t  express? And when you feel the blood applied to your conscience, and know He’s blotted  out your sins, you can cry with David, "Let the whole earth be filled with  His glory; Amen, and Amen." 
 
                Can you bow before Him in  loving homage, and not wish others to experience His loving touch? If Christ  set you free from sin and made you a stable, sober, caring Christian, you’ll naturally  want to share your success story with others. As far as the people you  know are concerned, your relationship with Christ is worthless unless you open  your mouth.Oh Lord, give the reader the ability to die to self. 
                 
  "If anyone desires to come  after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (Matthew  16:24).
