“Each day proclaim the good news that he saves. Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does” (1 Chronicles 16:23-24 NLT).
David gave this song of thanksgiving to the Levites to sing on the day they brought the Ark into Jerusalem. In these two verses, he commanded his people to proclaim the good news that God saves to the nations.
Notice some of the details of David’s instruction:
1) Proclaim the good news every day
2) The good news is that God saves
3) Publish (using all available media) God’s good deeds among the nations
4) Tell everyone about what God has done
We have been given this same command by the Son of David, Jesus Christ. For He has said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matt. 28:19-20).
Are you ready to proclaim the good news that God saves?
PRAYER: Lord, fill us and empower us with Your Holy Spirit to proclaim the Good News that Jesus saves every day, to everyone, in every way, to every nation, everywhere. In Jesus’ name, amen.
