"Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord." – Psalm 117
Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the Bible, but its message is vast and powerful: Let all peoples praise the Lord! This isn’t just a call for believers but for every nation and person to lift their voices in praise to the one true God. His love is immeasurable, His faithfulness unending, and His mercy reaches across all borders.
God’s plan has always been global. His heart is for ALL people to know Him, accept His gift of salvation, and experience the richness of His love. Jesus came not to save a few but to offer salvation to the whole world. As ambassadors of Christ, we have the privilege of proclaiming this truth to those who don’t yet know Him.
There are so many who live without the hope, joy, and peace that comes from knowing Jesus. They are unaware of His mercy, kindness, and grace. That’s where we come in! We are the light of the world (Matthew 5:14-16). Our lives should reflect God’s love so powerfully that others are drawn to Him.
Think about this: if we hide our light, if we keep the good news to ourselves, how will others see the glory of God? God calls us to shine, to share, and to invite others into His kingdom. And as we invest our time, energy, and resources into His mission, He promises to guide our steps and use our lives to glorify Him.
We don’t know how long we have until Jesus returns, so every day counts. Start now. Write that testimony, share your faith with a friend, or start a ministry. Step out in faith and watch God do incredible things. Even if your plans shift, God will direct your path and bring His glory to the work you begin.
Remember, you’ve been given new life in Christ. Don’t live as you did before; live in the light of the second chance you’ve received. Rejoice daily in the salvation God has given you and dedicate your life to reflecting His love to the world.
Praise the Lord, all you peoples! His love and faithfulness are worthy of every breath of praise.
Prayer
Lord God,
Thank You for Your unfailing love and faithfulness that endures forever. I praise You for who You are and for the salvation You’ve given me through Jesus Christ. Help me to live a life that reflects Your goodness and mercy. Use me to bring Your light to those who don’t yet know You. Strengthen me to step out in faith, to share the good news, and to shine for Your glory. Let my life be a testimony of Your transforming power. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
