June 11 – Be gracious – Psalm 67:1-2
This psalm begins with the Aaronic blessing. The writer prays that the Lord will be gracious. This means that we get undeserved mercy and the complete impartation of God into our lives. That the Lord would show kindness, mercy and love and that His blessings would come in any form that we need at the time. God has promised to supply every need according to His riches in glory. Grace and true blessing come from the Lord.
The psalmist wishes that the Lord’s face would shine among His people. This is a prayer for the presence, essence and character of God to be bestowed among His people. The glory, nature and benefits of the Lord to be released in our everyday situation. Is that you prayer and wish?
The nation of Israel in the wilderness saw God’s provision everyday with manna. It never stopped until they entered the promise land. God will supply manna for you as you trust him. Paul said that God would supply every need according to His riches in glory.
The psalmist closes with the statement that the Lord’s ways would be known among all nations and His salvation among all peoples. Is that your wish? Pray and be His vessel to make it happen.
