"Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts.... Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim His salvation day after day. Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy in His dwelling place. Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength, ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name. Bring an offering and come before Him; worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness. Tremble before Him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns!"" (1 Chronicles 16:8,9,23-31)Our salvation is not to be tucked away in a quiet, little corner of our heart. As you read above, we are to give thanks, make Him known, sing praise, tell of His wonderful acts and declare His glory. Give, make, sing, tell and declare are all verbs - actions, things to do. And we are to do these things AMONG THE NATIONS. We are to be involved in world wide missions - to send out and to go. May we take this charge seriously for He is worthy!
May we truly - "Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all people."
