psalm 67

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us,
that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.
May the people praise you, O God, may all the peoples praise you.
May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples justly and guide the nations of the earth.
May the peoples praise you, O God, may all the peoples praise you.
Then the land will yield its harvest, and God, our God, will bless us.
God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear Him.

Kyle memorized this chapter of the Psalms. I'm still working on it. I think I've got about half of it done. It's pretty short, so it shouldn't be taking me this long. Oh well.

He pointed out to me the first word of the second verse, "that". May God bless us that His salvation may be known among all nations. My blessings are not intended for my own pleasure. My salvation, my house, my son, my blessings are all part of a much bigger picture. They are all intended to make God's name great. There is no one greater, no one higher, no one like our God! What a joy and privilege to serve Him.
