"Righteousness Lived"

"I have not hid Thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation: I have not concealed Thy lovingkindness and Thy truth from the great congregation." (Psalms 40:10) Here is the thing about "A Song of Deliverance", is that it sings out for people to hear; a song is meant to be shared and is greater sung the more people you have singing along with you. The greatest asset that we have is not our house, or any other material thing here on this earth; our greatest asset is the salvation we have been given by the righteousness of Jesus Christ; and yet, it is not even ours, but it is His righteousness that we get to hold onto. As I said yesterday at the end of my post, "You can only keep what you give away", it is not ours to begin with, so what makes us think that we can hide it and keep it to ourselves? Something extraordinary has happen in our lives, something that is extremely important to everyone we know that does not have what we have, because without it, they will die in their sins and be lost forever. With that said, this "great congregation" which David makes mention of, I believe, is God's elect, which means that they are those who have been predestined from the foundations of the earth to stand together before God in heaven and sing a new song together; a crowd more numerous than can be counted, will all be standing together singing a new song of deliverance, and praising God all at once, and with one giant voice they shall shake heaven and earth. Talk about a time of worship, that is going to be a glorious wedding celebration! (Revelations 19:1-8) But, it does not matter that those are predestined, they still require hearing the gospel; they still must have their opportunity to make that choice for themselves. Don't ask me to explain how that works, because I can not even try; as soon as I start trying to figure it out, I start blowing brain cells and my head start spinning. It is really not for us to know, but just to live out the righteousness that we have been given; and one part of living out His righteousness, is to share God's faithfulness and salvation to those that are waiting to be called... "He that receiveth you receiveth Me; and he that receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no way lose his reward." (Matthew 10:40-42)
