WE ARE TO TELL THE WORLD WHAT HE HAS DONE

Proclamation:

“Give praise to The Lord, proclaim His name; make known among the nations what He has done.  Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts.  Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek The Lord rejoice.”  Psalm 105:1-3 (NIV)

Explanation:

The words of this psalm were written by King David under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God.  These are the same inspired words, Psalm 105:1-15, which appear in 1 Chronicles 16:8-22.  The people of God were encouraged to praise The Lord and to talk about the things which He had done.  This psalm also recounts a significant portion of the history of Israel, and God’s intervention, from His covenant with Abraham to their occupying the promised land of Canaan. (Psalm 105:8-45) 

Application:

The Lord God keeps His promises.  Whatever He has said in His Holy Word that He will give to us or do for us, you can be sure that we will receive it.  We need to understand that some of His promises are conditional.  “If My people … then will I …” (2 Chronicles 7:14) He will keep His word and do His part, we just need to do our part.  We are to go and spread the gospel throughout the world. (1 Chronicles 16:24)  We are to tell people of His wonderful acts.  We are to praise, worship, and glorify His holy name.  However, we should not only be hearers and tellers of The Word of God, but we are to also be doers of The Word of God. (James 1:22)  The world should see our good works and glorify God. (Matthew 5:16)
