Gems In The Treasure Chest

Sing to the LORD, all the earth;
Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. 1 Chronicles 16:23

The Old Testament treasure chest was opened and to my eye came the gleaming gold and shining silver of God's holy word. But among that gold was the gleam of gems, and this one we read above came to my hand on this day. 

The Old Testament is quite lengthy and there are so many gems among the piles of gold and silver that it is easy to think that maybe some of that treasure can be ignored. Here we read today that a thousand years before Christ the Lord was born in Bethlehem, David sang a song telling all the Earth to proclaim the very thing that we are to share in this dark world. The Spirit of God in David sang then the same songs as we do today. The plan of salvation God had for us did not change in between some BC date to just before 1 AD during a solemn council in Heaven. The plan was always on God's Son, Jesus, and the plan for us was always to proclaim the gospel of His salvation until the end comes. 

Great is the name of our Lord!
