The
people of God lived in a situation where there was much idolatry. For
them, there could be no compromise. We are to be watchful as the Lord’s
Return draws near. We dare not live as the world does. We are to live in
the Lord’s way. In the midst of “an ungodly nation”, we are to pray,
“Send forth Your light and Your truth, let them guide me; let them bring
me to Your holy mountain, to the place where You dwell” (Psalm 43:3).
As we look at this “ungodly nation”, it is easy to become “downcast.”
We must learn to say to ourselves, “Put your hope in God, for I will yet
praise Him, my Saviour and my God” (Psalm 43:5).
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).
