“Pray
for God’s blessings to continue and for everyone on earth to worship our God.” Psalms 67:7 CEV
In
Psalm 67, God has shown favor to his people with a bountiful harvest. God has
been kind and has blessed his people. Now that we can prove the God-potential,
let’s get everyone on-board. Partnering with God is an awesome thing. God’s
blessing on a nation will increase when the people are united and everyone is
pulling in the same direction, God’s direction.
Jesus
taught us to grow Christianity through attraction. Outsiders should be able to
easily see the love in our fellowship, and then desire to be a part of what we
have. Be joyful! The psalmist writes, “Be pleased and smile. Then everyone on earth will
learn to follow you, and all nations will see...” from Ps. 67:1-2
In
this time of political division in our country, it would be restorative to turn
from our differences and, for a moment, celebrate the good things we have in
common. Our country was founded by people who desired religious freedom. Declaring
our independence, they wrote, “All men are created equal, that they are endowed
by their creator with certain unalienable rights…” Our founding fathers
acknowledged a creator who was good to us – perhaps we can all agree on that.
So
put a smile on your face, sing a joyful song, and let’s all pull together with
the positive values we share. Let’s all play for God’s team.
