Day 18
This is one of my favorite Psalms. Today let's pray it over each other:
1 May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face shine upon us,
Selah
2 that your ways may be known on earth,
your salvation among all nations.
3 May the peoples praise you, O God;
may all the peoples praise you.
4 May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you rule the peoples justly
and guide the nations of the earth.
Selah
5 May the peoples praise you, O God;
may all the peoples praise you.
6 Then the land will yield its harvest,
and God, our God, will bless us.
7 God will bless us,
and all the ends of the earth will fear him.

I find three things in this passage that really excite me.
First there is a connection between God being good to us, and all the people praising Him.
Clearly God is given the credit for the blessings He pours out.
Second, the evangelist heart of this Psalm. He is praying that nations sing for joy to God.
Third, there is a "harvest" that happens at just the right time. God's timing is perfect.
Finally, the earth 'fears" God. God is acknowledged as God. He is our creator, and LORD.
May this Psalm be proclaimed over our cities.
Thank for your prayer,
Mark
