Closer Day 4 - Psalm 22:27-31

27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you. 28 For kingship belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations. 29 All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive. 30 Posterity shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation; 31 they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn, that he has done it.

Reflect

All of the earth will worship the Lord. All nations will stand before God with voices lifted in worship. Can you picture this in your mind? Can you hear all the voices singing together? David reminds us in this psalm that King Jesus is our rescuer and is sitting on the throne of heaven, ruling over all the nations. As this psalm ends, we see generations will serve the Lord and tell the next generation of His faithfulness. We are a part of this! We are believers because someone, at some point in our lives, shared Jesus with us. Today we can proclaim the righteousness of God to people who do not know Him. Today we can be a part of worshiping God with all the earth! Do not wait for eternity to take this step. Make today the day you share how God has changed your life.

Prayer

Lord, only You are worthy to be praised. Only You can sit on the throne of this world and of my heart. Thank you for the breath you have given me. Help me to use this breath, my life, my testimony to tell others of your goodness. Give me eyes to see opportunities to share who You are and the strength to proclaim it to the next generation boldly. Holy Spirit, fill me to overflow, so my words speak truth and love. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
