Psalm 116:12-14 "What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits toward me? I shall lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord. I shall pay my vows to the Lord, oh may it be in the presence of all His people." (NASB)
As we walk with our Lord Jesus, we can ask ourselves what we can give back to Him for all He has done for us. The Psalmist declares that he will lift the cup of salvation - something we all must drink from or participate in - and call on His name. In the very next sentence, the Psalmist equates this with paying his vows to the Lord - those things we have committed to Him - to walk in His ways according to His Word - in the presence of all His people.
Surely there is a corporate aspect to our following of Christ. We walk with Him - with His people. We do not "go to church." We ARE the church! Let us walk with Him together and worship before His throne!
