Psalm 67

May God be gracious to us and bless us
    and make his face to shine upon us,           Selah
that your way may be known upon earth,
    your saving power among all nations.
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you.

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
    for you judge the peoples with equity
    and guide the nations upon earth.              Selah
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you.

The earth has yielded its increase;
    God, our God, has blessed us.
May God continue to bless us;
    let all the ends of the earth revere him.

We ‘gather’ again for worship, while remaining distant from one another.  We come together in the sanctuary of our hearts and minds as we join them in praise to God.  We come, knowing that we are still in exile, that each day is difficult, that we long to truly be gathered as God’s people in one place.  However, we remember that God is faithful. God continues to pour blessing upon blessing for his people. We, God’s people, are grateful for God’s faithfulness.

I hope you will join me in singing praise to God today, from wherever we are, distant from one another. I know that God is still in control, that God is binding us together in love, and I hope that we would allow our hearts to give praise that we can continue to worship together through the technology of our day.  Praise be to God for his continued blessings. Amen!

Grace & Peace,
Sam
