To Tyre,
God says, “Your wealth, merchandise and wares, your mariners, seamen
and shipwrights, your merchants and all your soldiers, and everyone else
on board will sink into the heart of the sea on the day of your
shipwreck” (Ezekiel 27:27).
Those who are overladen by their attachment to the things of this
world will sink in the storms of life. The Word of God says to us, “Let
us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily
entangles” (Hebrews 12:1). Though the storms of life be very severe, the Lord’s promise remains true: “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures for ever” (Psalm 125:1).
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).
