PSALM 67

Psalm 67

Introduction

Psalm 67: Today’s reading calls on people to praise God. God has blessed his people with mercy and kindness so all nations may know his ways and honor him.

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 67:7

God has blessed us; may all people everywhere honor him.

Reading

67 God, be merciful to us and bless us;
look on us with kindness,
2 so that the whole world may know your will;
so that all nations may know your salvation.

3 May the peoples praise you, O God;
may all the peoples praise you!

4 May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
because you judge the peoples with justice
and guide every nation on earth.

5 May the peoples praise you, O God;
may all the peoples praise you!

6 The land has produced its harvest;
God, our God, has blessed us.
7 God has blessed us;
may all people everywhere honor him.

Reflect

Twice in today’s reading the psalm writer calls upon all peoples to praise God (verses 3, 5). What prompts the writer to say this? In what ways have the people been blessed? In what ways have you been blessed by God?

Pray

Loving and merciful God, you look upon your people with kindness. I praise you and sing for joy because of your abundant blessings. May people everywhere praise you and may all nations come to know your salvation. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, you have to

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving into our lives, we can
