God’s Truth for Trying Times - 12/29/20

 

We need God’s truth in trying times. Read the Scripture passage, think about what it is saying, then pray; by yourself or with your household. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly (Col. 3:16).

 

READ: Psalm 67

"May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, Selah that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Selah Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him!" (Psalm 67:1-7 ESV)

 

CONSIDER: The prayer of the Psalmist is the God would shed his grace on us and show us his favor. It was all for the purpose of God's ways being made known on earth, his saving power among all peoples. It was so that people would praise God; that to the ends of the earth people would praise him. Is your heart tuned to praise God?

 

THINK: What does this declare about God? What are God’s people being called to do? What assurance is given? How does the Word of God transform our hearts and lives and relationships?
