What
God did for His people, Israel, was very great. There is a striking
contrast between their slavery in Egypt and their abundance in the
promised land. God had multiplied His blessing upon them, just as Jesus
did when He turned water into wine (John 2:1-11).
If the blessing is to be maintained and increased, we must honour the
Lord. We must cry to Him for blessing: “Hear my prayer, O God, listen to
the words of my mouth.” We must call upon Him with faith: “Surely God
is my help; the Lord is the One who sustains me” (Psalm 54:2,4).
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).
