Each
of the tribes had their part in the promised land. Each of Jesus’
disciples, whom He called to Himself at the outset of His ministry, had
his part in the work of the Lord. What God did with Israel
and with Jesus’ first disciples will be surpassed when Christ comes in
glory: “You shall see greater things ... You shall see the heavens
open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man”
(John 1:50-51).
On that Day, there will be both salvation and judgment: “The righteous
man is rescued from trouble, and it comes on the wicked instead” (Proverbs 11:8).
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).
