Psalm 96:2

Pam Padgett - teacher 

Psalm 96:2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

salvation - deliverance from harm or ruin, to save (keep safe or rescue)

Our lives show forth the salvation God has for us in a matter as we believe and go according to the word from God we're given. We don't show forth our own wisdom or wisdom of this world, but the salvation from God.  

We may look odd or wrong to those of the world as we go in the way we are led by God, but it is the way of salvation for us. 

An example ... I did not go to where my mom was in the hospital because I believed I heard from the Holy Spirit that everything needed was already provided for my parents and that for me to go would be like stepping into an ant hill of fire ants.  To the flesh it seemed wrong to stay home.  But I believe it was the way of salvation from God for me in this matter.  As I stayed home, the salvation God provided for me in the matter was seen ... sparing me unnecessary preparation/travel/weariness, as well as delivering me and keeping me safe from being "stung" by the words and actions of those I would have been around had I gone.

As we go in the way God leads us, our lives show forth the salvation God has provided for us from day to day
