Scripture
Psalm 22:27- 28 – All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you. For kingship belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations.
Observation
The psalmist is reminding us of the Abrahamic promise that will bring salvation to all the nations. From the ends of the earth all the families of the nations will worship before the Lord. The Lord is king of kings and ruler of over all nations of the earth.
Application
Jesus fulfills the Abrahamic promise to bring salvation to the nations through his sacrificial, redemptive death and resurrection for us. Jesus tells his disciples in Mark 13:27 what it will be like when the Son of Man returns. “And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.” I must remember Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and on earth. He is alive and with us now in this uncertain time of crisis. My response is to turn to the Lord and worship Him in His sovereignty in the midst of what looks like chaos. Draw near, have faith and trust in Jesus.
Prayer
Father,
Thank you for your love, grace and mercy you have for us. Let the power of the Holy Spirit give me courage to have faith, trust in you to guide me through these times to know you and share your gospel with a world that needs it.
