“The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when you give an offering to the LORD, to make atonement for yourselves.”

Everyone needs to participate in serving the LORD, no matter your situation or status! Too often we push serving and giving onto someone else!

“Blessed is every one who fears the LORD, who walks in His ways.”

Psalm 128:1

Sometimes we need to be reminded that we are saved, we are going to heaven to spend eternity with the LORD! As we wait for that day we really need to be part of what the LORD is doing here!

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

What Jesus is saying go out and tell people about the good news of salvation! He doesn’t say go out and debate getting into endless arguments!

“So they went out and preached that people should repent.”

Mark 6:12

We live at a time of debates and disagreements, just watch the news and social media! As believers we need to not only talk about the LORD telling people about the good news of salvation, but we need to live like believers! What we say needs to be backed up by how we live!

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

As we go out and about toady let us shine for the LORD in actions and speech! Looking for opportunities to talk or even post about repentance and the good news of salvation! Have a blessed day letting your light shine for the LORD.

“However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the LORD has done for you, and How He had compassion on you. And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled.”

Mark 5:19-20

Just a few verses earlier, this guy was living in a graveyard possessed by demons! Now he is of a clear mind, wanting to stay with Jesus, but He tells him to go and share the good news of salvation!

“The LORD has done great things for us, And we are glad.”

Psalm 126:3

Like this ex demon possessed man, the LORD has done great and amazing things for us too! He saved us! So, too, we should go out and proclaim the great things that the LORD has done!

“Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.”

1 Chronicles 16:23

Even if you are going through some rough times today, maybe health issues, finances or a major decision that needs to be made. The thing we still get to do is proclaim and share how good the LORD is! Have a blessed day proclaiming the good news of salvation!

Shabbat Shalom.
