During the time of the Old Testament kings, there was much “turning away from following the Lord” (2 Chronicles 25:27).
In such times as these, we need to be encouraged to go on with the
Lord: “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be
strong. Do everything in love” (1 Corinthians16:13-14).
The warnings from previous generations, together with the call to
follow the Lord, are written for people of every generation: “Let this
be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may
praise the Lord” (Psalm 102:18).
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).
