Very simple challenge and reminder to me this morning, as I read through Psalms 61-67, and these verses in Psalm 67 describe a major aspect of our calling here and now:
"God be gracious to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us
That Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations."
Simple and powerful. The Old Testament believer was to live in such a way so as to allow others, other nations, to come to God. They were to make His name known to them. More exactly, God would make Himself known to them, by working through His people.
Today, for us, things have not changed. We long for God's blessing, and ultimately, we are to strive to allow Him to work through us, to make His name known to those around us, one of our ministries in this world. So I pray today for God's blessing on you and on me, for the purpose that others will come to salvation in Christ by His working through us in our daily lives.
