The cry of God’s people: “Oh that You would rend the heavens and come down ... to make Your Name known to your enemies” (Isaiah 64:1).
The promise of God’s blessing: “I revealed Myself to those who did not
ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me” (Isaiah 65:1). Those who have come to know God through Christ “must no longer live as the Gentiles do” (Ephesians 4:17). The way of fearing the Lord is the way of blessing. It is the way of “no fear”, the way of triumph (Psalm 112:1,8).
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).
