He deserves for me to proclaim his greatness to those around me. He deserves for me to publicly declare how good He is. Anything less, is incomplete praise.
=======================
Scripture
1 Chronicles 16:7-8
“That day David first appointed Asaph and his associates to give praise to the Lord in this manner: ‘Give praise to the Lord, proclaim His name; make known among the nations what He has done.”
Observation
David appointed Asaph and the rest, for the purpose and calling of giving praise to the Lord. The praise they were to give was not just a quiet, internal, hidden and private acknowledgement of God’s greatness. David instructed them to give praise to the Lord and proclaim his name…and let all the other nations know what God has done.
Application
God is great, loving, kind, just, merciful, generous, powerful, and so much more. I know this, because I have experienced his greatness and his presence in my own life. There is no doubt in my mind, how awesome my God is!
And yet, there are so many people on earth who do not know how great God is. They’ve not seen or experienced his blessing and his salvation. God deserves my praise and my worship in the quietness of my own heart-but he also deserves so much more than that! He deserves for me to proclaim his greatness to those around me. He deserves for me to publicly declare how good He is. Anything less, is incomplete praise.
This week, I choose to praise God and lift his name high. I choose to talk about what He’s done in my life, to those who do not yet know him.
Prayer
God, thank you for your goodness and greatness. I choose to praise you with my life and my words, so that those who don’t yet know you would have a chance to catch a glimpse of your greatness.
