Our Witness to Nations

Psalms 117,119:81-176; 2 John; 3 John 

“Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord.”

Psalm 117

God’s faithfulness and love extend, not just to his covenant people, but also to all nations. We have life and breathe because God willed it. We experience the provision of harvest and the faithfulness of the seasons because our Creator upholds creation with his Word. If we know God personally, we, too, will speak to nations calling them to worship God. We, too, will testify to God’s love and faithfulness in our lives as a better way to live. We, too, will call nations and our nation to turn away from the idols of nationalism, pride, materialism, and false gods, toward the living God. The greatest witness of our lives is our testimony of daily worship and praise to God for who he is and what he has done. When our words and life are congruent in this daily worship, the world around us sees and hears our witness to who God is.

Will we make this Psalm our prayer and mission?

“Lord Jesus, you gave your life for all nations so they could experience your love and know you, for your glory.”
