Blessed to be a Blessing

Psalm 67 is a Missionary Psalm, my favoirte missionary Psalm. God's heart for all people runs through every verse. Read it from that perspective and see if it doesn't stand stand out to you in a whole new light. This passage reveals the pure motivation that should be in our hearts when we ask God to bless us: that is, that God may be know and praises among more and more people.


God be merciful to us;
and bless us;
and cause His face to shine upon us; Selah

That Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy saving health among all nations."
Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even out own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall few Him.
