1 Chronicles 16:24

“Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.” — 1 Chronicles 16:24 (NIV)

🔥Reflection · The Great Commission echo

David’s song is a mission statement: “Declare his glory among the nations.” It’s a seed of the Great Commission — Matthew 28:18–20 — where Jesus commands us to make disciples of all nations, with the promise “I am with you always” (v.20). David’s vision reaches the world; Jesus fills in the content: the gospel.

1 CHRON 16:24📜

• “Declare his glory among the nations”
• “his marvelous deeds among all peoples”
