Show forth from day to day His salvation

“Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation. Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvelous works among all nations.” - 1 Chronicles 16v23-24

David presented a beautiful psalm upon the return of the ark to Jerusalem. As a part of that psalm He instructed the people not to keep God’s work quiet, but to make it known to others. This same challenge is applicable to us today. The instruction is simple, yet can be so difficult to carry out.

· Sing unto the Lord
· Show His salvation from day to day
· Declare His glory and His marvellous works to the lost

God brought the ark back home. What a wonderful truth and what a blessing for the nation. His very real presence was back among the people. This was a wonderful event and a true reason for praise.

Compare that to what God has done for us. When we were saved He came and dwelt in our lives forever, never to leave. Would not David’s words even apply more to us? Are we doing what David declared here? Are our songs sung to the Lord? Are we showing His salvation to those around us day after day? Are we declaring His glory and His works to the lost around us?
