Psalm 67
Day 67: Be blessed
Here in this Psalm we are right back to the Aaronic Blessing of Numbers 6. Let us never be anxious to move away from it either:
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us.
But now we have further understanding. The song gives the answer to why should we seek to be blessed.
a. For mission, v2. We are not living to be blessed to feel good, but we live for others. Bless me God so that I can reach others with your ways and your love!
b. For Praise to God, v3-5. Not just ourselves, or the church, but the blessing is for the whole world to praise Him!
c. For purpose, v6. Blessing precludes knowing fruitfulness, purpose, a harvest. The world will never be fulfilled until it knows God.
God will bless you and me again and again so long as our focus is on the world that He loves, v7.
It is the way to stay blessed.
