Make His Face to Shine Upon Us?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who want your face to shine upon them. In Jesus’ name, amen.
In the verses of Psalm 67:1-7 (ESV), the psalmist asks for God’s grace and blessing. He goes on to declare that God’s way should be known on earth.
67 May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face to shine upon us, Selah
2 that your way may be known on earth,
your saving power among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!
4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you judge the peoples with equity
and guide the nations upon earth. Selah
5 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!
6 The earth has yielded its increase;
God, our God, shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us;
let all the ends of the earth fear him!
Ponder the power of this one Psalm to make God a personal God. The optimism is contagious. “God shall bless us.” How powerful is that? Jesus, God’s Son, has the saving power that can be among all nations.
