Psalm 96:1–6
Oh sing to the LORD a new song
sing to the LORD, all the earth!
Sing to the LORD, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the LORD made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. (ESV)
Why are you going on a mission trip? Why does anybody do missions? Did you think about those questions before you signed up?
Knowing why God has called us to a different context is important because it gives us the motivation and reason for doing hard things, for enduring difficulty, for being uncomfortable, and for loving and serving others.
