1 Chronicles 16:8 "Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done."
David and the Levites have just moved the ark of the Lord to Jerusalem. David then sings this song of praise to the Lord.
This verse highlights two of God's great desires for us-that we praise him and tell the world about him. I'm usually pretty good at the first one-most Sundays, but not so good at the second! And why is it that I think about praising God only on Sundays? Both of these activities are meant to happen each day. Whether I am having a great day, a bad day, or a day in which I move the ark, I need to praise God and tell others about him! How can I praise God today? Who can I talk to about Jesus today? How can I keep myself accountable to do both?
Dear Jesus, help me praise you and tell someone about you today. Amen.
