What you say and do in the midst of living your life reveals what The Lord is doing in your life. (Mark 5:19). After being miraculously healed by The Lord, the former maniac of Gadera requests to go and be with The Lord. Jesus responds to him with the words, "Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee." And that is exactly what he did. The results were that the people marveled. In short, what he shared with the people is what he had personally experienced with The Lord.
Today as you go through your day, your life will reveal what you have experienced with The Lord. If words come from your mouth that are not seasoned with grace (Col. 4:6), then you are revealing that not much has happened between you and The Lord. Griping, complaining, exploding, backbiting and gossiping all reveal that nothing is happening. You may have even had devotions that day, but the time spent was mere duty. That is why you must meet with The Lord, seek his presence in your life and expose yourself to his word so that he can reveal himself to you. When he does, your life will testify of it.
Remember, we cannot make ourselves spiritual no more than we are able to make our salvation. Both are dependent upon The Lord, his work of grace and our exposure to the Word of God. As we interact with God through his word, then his grace will accomplish in our lives what we will need to share with those around us and they too as those in Decapolis will marvel.
