Psalms 118:17 I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done.

God’s Word promised we would live and not die. With this promise, we don’t have to worry or live in fear of terrorist attacks, airplane crashes, or dying in a foreign country. We can enjoy ourselves and live.

We’re not living so that we can satisfy our flesh or reap worldly desires. We’re living to proclaim what the Lord has done.  We are to proclaim that Jesus is Lord and the Savior of the world. We are to proclaim that Jesus has healed us. We are to proclaim that regardless of what we’ve done, God’s love is everlasting.

When we have a need or desire, we are to boldly proclaim that God will meet that need or desire. When that need or desire is met, we are to boldly proclaim that God answered our prayer. Everything we have and everything we do should bring glory to God.

Praise God He promised us life, but the reason why we’re living is to proclaim the works of the Lord.
