Introduction
The psalmist said, "I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord" (17). The job of the saints throughout their lives is to spread the gospel of God. There is nothing more important than that.
What do we need to convey?
1. I must tell you that the Lord is on my side. (Verses 6-7)
(Text 6-7) “The Lord is on my side, so I am not afraid. What harm can a person do to me? The Lord is on my side and helps me, and I will see those who hate me perish. "
Because he was convinced that God was alive and helping him, he realized the sense of mission to convey such a good God to many people.
2. We must proclaim that the Lord is our refuge (verses 8-9).
(Text 8-9) "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to depend on people. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to depend on high people."
When there is tribulation and great calamity in the world, there is no escape from it. But avoiding God is the safest and best thing. Therefore, it is necessary to convey that there is a safe haven for many people who are troubled by various fears. Something like this is a living thing.
3. We must proclaim victory in the name of the Lord (verses 10-12).
(Text 10-12) "Nations surrounded me, but I defeated them by the name of the Lord. They surrounded me layer by layer, but I defeated them because of the name of the Lord. They surrounded me like a swarm of bees and thorns. They tried to devour me like fire in the bushes, but I defeated them in the name of the Lord."
The name of the Lord is the secret to victory. So we need to spread the name. So that many may triumph in the name of Jehovah. The Apostle Paul said there is woe if we do not preach.
conclusion
If there is one thing that believers must do in their lifetime, it is to confess their faith (1 Corinthians 12:3, Matthew 16:16-17), and to preach the Jesus whom I met to the ends of the earth (Acts) 1:8).
