2 Samuel 22:50
"Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name."
Praising God with other Christians is part of the weekly worship of most believers. Most enjoy getting together, sharing prayer requests and answers to this prayers. Most like singing songs of praise with fellows in the faith. But how many of us know what it is like to praise God among the heathen?
There are countless lost souls that we encounter throughout our lives. And to some of them we might be the only ray of God's sunlight they ever see. Do I ever think to tell them of the love God has given me, an unworthy, wretched sinner?
If you truly consider what the modern, evangelical concept of "witnessing" is, you'll find that boiled down to its main component, it is nothing more than a form of praising God. A witness tells of something he has seen or experienced. A witness for the Lord is telling others of the love, grace and mercy that they have had from Christ. Praising God, thanking Him, singing His worth to the heathen.
Am I praising God among the unsaved, those who are lost and on their way to Hell?
