Govern & Guide

Transcript:

Psalms 67:4 is so universal and inclusive. It says the whole world needs to respond to what God is doing and need to sing for joy. The psalmist is not necessarily confessing a reality in his physical world, but he is confessing his desire of what he would like to see and accomplish through his life. He wants to see the whole world sing for joy because of him being an example. Can this be said about you?

The motivation and the ambition that we have today should cause the people around us to be filled with joy and give them a reason to sing and worship God. You need to shine your light so bright that the people may see your good work and will consequently begin to worship God.

The scripture then goes on to say that the reason for the whole world to sing for joy is that God governs the nations with justice. The psalmist in spite of not necessarily witnessing justice everywhere, which we also see in our society today, begins to confess it as a reality. Today, let us declare this in hope that God, my King, governs all the nations with justice and likewise in my workplace and in my ministry.

According to Psalms 67:4, God not only does govern the whole world with justice, but He also guides the people of the whole world. Governing with justice is something that a king would do, but guiding the person is something that a friend would do.

My prayer is that today not only you will receive this God as somebody who can govern your life situations, problems, challenges and bring justice in every area of your life, but also that He will guide, help and lead you every step of the way and whatever decisions you need to make.

When you live a life where you are willing to let the Lord govern with justice and allow Him to guide you in each and every step that you take, then your life will be so beautiful and so glorious that the whole world around you will in fact sing for joy.
