Psalm 96:2-3

Continuing in Psalm 96 -


2 SING UNTO THE LORD, BLESS HIS NAME; SHEW FORTH HIS SALVATION FROM DAY TO DAY.

"Sing unto the LORD! Sing unto the LORD! Sing unto the LORD!" God wants thee to get the MESSAGE, Sherry, for THRICE it is stated! And Spurgeon says, "Thrice is the name of the Lord repeated, and not without meaning. Is it not unto the Three-One Lord that the enlightened nations will sing?"

Bless His name, Sherry! This word "bless" means "to kneel". Kneel before Him today and show Him reverence! Kneel before Him and ADORE Him! Kneel before Him and BLESS HIS NAME! Remember His NAME...His attributes...His character...and lavish upon Him your words of deep thanksgiving and LOVE!


SHEW forth His salvation!

"SHEW" means "..to be fresh, i.e. full (fosy, fig. cheerful); to announce (glad news): messenger, preach, publish, shew forth, (bear, bring, carry, preach, good, tell...) tidings."

Sherry, shine forth with a smile on your face and a song on your lips...like the bright rays of the sun! May your outward actions reflect the deep work that God has done and is still doing within your heart daily! Shine forth and show forth...day after day...the REALITY of God's salvation in your life and the continuing deliverance from sin as you bear "fruit" for His glory - LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE. (Gal. 5:22-23) In the midst of all your trials, "...GLORIFY God...in your SPIRIT. (I COR. 6:20) Faith instead of fear...joy instead of complaining...love and service to others instead of preoccupation with self...! LOVE! Show forth His salvation from day to day, especially within your home, by LOVE!

"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be HOLY and without BLAME before him in LOVE:" Dr. John Piper says, "The point of the little phrase "in love" in Eph. 1:4 is this: Your DESTINY before you were ever created...your
destiny was that you would become a child of God and take on a FAMILY LIKENESS, and the essence of the family likeness is HOLINESS and BLAMELESSNESS. And the heart of holiness and blamelessness is LOVE to one another and to God!"

3 DECLARE HIS GLORY AMONG THE HEATHEN, HIS WONDERS AMONG ALL PEOPLE.

CELEBRATE God's glory by speaking and writing! Tell of His mighty works in the days of the Exodus. Recount His miracles in Galilee. Be a first-hand witness and give TESTIMONY of what He has done for you, Sherry! Celebrate God's glory in your home among your precious
children; celebrate God's glory among the peoples of the world.

Here is a message for you, Sherry. Pay close attention and beseech the Lord to show you HOW you can begin to be a MISSIONARY to those who prefer God's glorious gifts instead of God Himself. And pray especially that God would show you HOW to share the good news also
with those of other tongues.
