You And I Need It

​Sing to the LORD, bless His name;
​​Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. Psalm 96:2

Yes, this verse is a good reminder of bearing witness to others, but first thing in the morning or at any time of the day, the words are also a reminder to you and me. Wait, proclaim it to myself? Certainly, for how will we witness to the world if we do not proclaim it day to day to ourselves with singing and blessing? It goes back to that second most important commandment in which our Lord taught us to love our neighbors. Yes, sounds good to me, sounds like what we were taught back in the day... sounds incomplete to those who study the Word of God! The part we may forget in our zeal to pray for others is those two words on the end of the commandment: as yourself. In Mark 12:31 of the NIV, our Lord answers: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Therefore, when it comes time, early or late, proclaim the good news of His salvation to yourself also, from day to day because you and I need it.

Blessing and glory to His name!
