I was going to just post a verse or two from Psalm 67 today, but the whole Psalm is so appropriate to our times! Here is ALL of Psalm 67:
1 GOD BE merciful and gracious to us and bless us and cause His face to shine upon us and among us — Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! —
2 That Your way may be known upon earth, Your saving power (Your deliverances and Your salvation) among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise You [turn away from their idols] and give thanks to You, O God; let all the peoples praise and give thanks to You.
4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for You will judge the peoples fairly and guide, lead, or drive the nations upon earth. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
5 Let the peoples praise You [turn away from their idols] and give thanks to You, O God; let all the peoples praise and give thanks to You!
6 The earth has yielded its harvest [in evidence of God's approval]; God, even our own God, will bless us.
7 God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall reverently fear Him.
We have been speaking of this a lot lately at The Spoken Word Church! We KNOW that God plans for us, as born again believers in Jesus of Nazareth, to have a abundantly blessed life her on earth, and then rewards in Heaven! John 10:10 says this:
10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
THAT is the kind of life He desires for us! Read 3 John 2, also! Psalm 67 reveals the WHY! Beside the fact that He loves us, He desires that ALL men be saved! Our blessed lives are living witnesses to the love and glory of God available to ALL who will choose Him! Amen! BE that light of God's glory in the earth for others! Here is Hillsong with "Let Creation Sing":
Shalom in Him!
