Monday, January 10, 2022 - TELL EVERYONE WHAT HE HAS DONE



Day 10 - (Today’s Bible readings: Joshua 16:15-31; Psalm 9; Acts 18:18-28)

TELL EVERYONE WHAT HE HAS DONE

“Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion!
Tell among the peoples his deeds.” (Psalm 9:11 ESV)

Why are you alive? What does the Lord expect of you? He has called those He has redeemed from sin, death and the devil to say so, to be His witnesses. We sing about the Christian’s calling with these words:

Thank the Lord and sing His praise; tell ev'ryone what He has done.
Let all who seek the Lord rejoice and proudly bear His name.  
He recalls His promises and leads His people forth in joy with shouts of thanksgiving.  
Alleluia, alleluia.    (Divine Service One, The Lutheran Service Book, CPH 2006)

A lady was once called me a “Bible thumper.” I responded by encouraging her to take another look at Jesus, the only One who has paid for my sins and the sins of all. We need to be ready at any time to “tell the peoples his deeds.”

Lord Jesus, thank You for my salvation. May my life be filled with daily thanksgiving as I tell others of all that You have done. In this new year, please use me to reach others for You. Amen.

Pastor David Paape

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105 ), undergirds this three-year journey through the entire Old Testament once (the Psalms - twice yearly), and the New Testament twice. There will be daily readings from the O.T., Psalms and the N.T. Special days on the church calendar will be highlighted with appropriate readings.
