In Genesis 49, we read of Jacob’s blessings on his sons. In Matthew 18:1-4,
we read of the disciples asking Jesus, “Who is the greatest in the
Kingdom of heaven?” Jesus replied to them, “whoever humbles himself like
this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” In the Kingdom of
heaven, the glory doesn’t belong to man. It belongs to the Lord. It’s
not about man’s greatness. In the Kingdom of heaven, we see the
greatness of God – “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise” (Psalm 145:3).
Our worship is to be expressed in our lives as well as our words –
“ Lord, who may dwell in Your sanctuary? … The one whose walk is
blameless, who does what is righteous … Whoever does these things will
never be shaken” (Psalm 15:1-2,5).
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).
