The most important thing of all is to be in a right relationship with God. This is the point which is emphasized in Israel’s sacrificial system. All other relationships are secondary to our relationship with God. Jesus makes this point in Mark
10:29-30 - Leave all your loved ones for Him and the Gospel and you
will “receive a hundred times as much in this present age ... and in the
age to come eternal life.” The Psalmist affirms that his relationship
with God is more important than anything else: “Though my father and
mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me” (Psalm 27:10).
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).
