Blessed by the God of love, called to be “His people, the flock of His
pasture”we “praise” Him and “give thanks” to Him (Psalm 79:13). He is
our “Shepherd” (Psalm 80:1). He restores our soul. He leads us in the
paths of righteousness for His Name’s sake (Psalm 23). He is “our
Strength.” In Him, we rejoice with true happiness (Psalm 81:1). “All the
nations” belong to the Lord (Psalm 82:8). He is “the Most High God of
the whole earth” (Psalm 83:18). Those who know the Lord as their
Shepherd and their Strength, the One who “saves” (Psalm 80:19) and
“satisfies” (Psalm 81:16), are to pray and work, with the goal of
bringing others to the knowledge of Him.
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word … will not return to Me empty, but will … achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
