On the Way to Wonder

“The Nations Called to Praise God:  To the leader: with stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.

¹ 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 upon 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, has blessed us.
⁷ May God continue to bless us;
    let all the ends of the earth revere him.”

         Our psalm for tomorrow is Psalm 67.  It calls upon the people to praise God.  The psalmist opens with words that echo the Aaronic blessing given to Moses in Numbers 6.

^‘24 The Lord bless you and keep you;
²⁵ the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
²⁶ the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.’

         Let’s prepare our hearts for tomorrow by thinking of reasons we would praise God right now.  List three things you thank God for and see if you could write a short poem of thanksgiving.   Blessings.
