Seeking God | Day 6
Psalm 67:4-5
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for You judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You!
The Lord’s plan was always for all nations to worship and know Him. In Psalm 67 there is a passionate plea that the nations of all people would worship God. This would be shocking for many Jews during Jesus’ times because they thought they were the only chosen people. They missed not only the Scriptures (especially Psalm 67), but also God’s plan and purposes for the world. We can miss this as well when we get so inward focused instead of having our eyes fixed on God. Our joy and gladness in the Lord should produce in us what the writer of Psalm 67 is saying, “Let the nations be glad and sing for joy.” Let us refocus our prayers and mission in life to seeing the gospel spread, and lost people be found through Christ.
PRAYER – That the gospel would spread to the nations. That our community would worship the Living God and be glad in Him.
