VERSE:
And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.
-- Isaiah 12:4
THOUGHT:
It is wrong to think God's love for the nations began only with Jesus and the Great Commission. Remember Jonah's preaching to save Israel's great enemy, Nineveh? Remember the precious story of Ruth, a foreigner grafted into the lineage of King David and ultimately Jesus the Messiah?
God loves all people and wants them to come to share in his grace. As Christians, we are his
Salt and Light. We are here to touch all the peoples of the world and beckon them to come back to the one Father who truly loves them.
PRAYER:
Holy God, stir in my heart a greater passion to share your love with the world. May my life, my money, and my concern be used to do more of your work throughout the world. Please bless the efforts of all those who share the Gospel of Jesus in a culture other than their own.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
