God's Words For US
by Cecelia Lester
God be merciful to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us.
Selah
That Your way may be known on earth,
Your salvation among the nations.
Psalm 67:1-2 (NKJV)
These verses form an invocation. The writer asks God’s blessing on the people through His mercy. The scribes ask those hearing, and later, reading these words to ponder or think about them.
The psalmist believes that God’s way will become known to all who inhabit the earth.
Even today, there are places on our earth that need to know the One True God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We must pray for the people striving to bring the gospel to those nations.
We must also remember that a lot of our neighbors might not have heard of Jesus. We also must keep in mind those who have forsaken Him.
As I refined this entry, I was reminded that we, as Christians, may be the only Bible some people read. We must ask God to keep us near to Himself and let His light shine forth through us, His children.
