Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day His salvation.
“1 Chronicles 16:23”

1 Chronicles is written as the Israelites return to Jerusalem after spending nearly 70 years in exile in Babylon. They were struggling to put their lives back together, from reestablishing the city to rebuilding the temple to renewing their relationship with God. In chapter 16, they brought the ark of the covenant back to its rightful place in Jerusalem after having been captured by the Philistines. In thanks to God, David ordered that sacrifices be offered to God, and they sang this song of praise for God’s faithfulness. His unfailing mercy was the Israelites assurance that they could always depend on Him to save them. Salvation is not just for the ancient Jewish people or any other elite or special group, but for “all the earth.”

In this season of joy and goodwill, let’s be inspired to share the marvelous works of God not only among fellow believers but with those who may still be seeking. The gift of the Lord’s  true infinite love and salvation is freely offered to all who believe, and as recipients of this grace, it becomes our responsibility and privilege to carry His Good News to every corner of the earth. The Lord almighty who rescued the Israelites is the same almighty dear Lord present in our lives today. As we celebrate the miracle of Christmas, let’s trust in His unwavering ability to restore and renew even the most seemingly hopeless situations. With hearts filled with gratitude, let us sing praises to our almighty dear Lord and Saviour for His unfailing faithfulness and boundless mercy, for He is truly the God who saves.

Please feel free to join me tomorrow for more reflections and inspiration, as we continue to illuminate the path of faith and spread the Good News of the God who saves!

Let us pray:

Dear Lord, almighty dear Heavenly Father, I sing praise to You for all your truth fulfilling,  glorious ways you have done for me. You created this beautiful world and filled it with miracles. Unfortunately, many of us have taken them for granted. I pray that more and more people will see Your goodness and realize that You are the mighty Creator, protector, and sovereign, reigning God. May everything I embrace and do give You honor and glory. Let Your presence encourage and comfort me as I face the challenges in my life. Thank You for Your forgiveness, mercy, and unconditional love for all of us. I pray this throughout the mighty, glorious, fulfilling name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings through Jesus Christ, our almighty, wonderful dear Lord, Saviour and Redeemer.
