David began to praise God in song with accompanying musical instruments. His praise was rooted in God’s personal love for him. His praise will not be in a closet or amongst family and friends. He will praise the Lord his God amongst the nations, the world’s people. Strangers, friends, and foes will hear of God’s love in song.
The glory of God is over all the earth. David visited only two nations other than Israel that the Bible records. So, these words are for the eternal future.
God’s love for us is demonstrated in this: “Jesus Christ laid down his life for us” (1 John 3:16). God’s personal love for me will be seen if I choose to look for it. Every day, God’s love for me is revealed to me. Often, I do not see God’s love because I am to busy to notice it. More often, I do not praise him when I do notice it. Even fewer times do I sing of his love for me. And sadly, how much do I tell others of God’s love for me? Now is a good time to examine yesterday and this morning to find how God is demonstrating his love to me now. Then later today tell someone about it.
