Blessings That Spur a Fear of the Lord

The blessings that God bestowed on Israel were not for their own enjoyment, rather it was so that other nations would know God and his salvation. As the last verse of the Psalm 67 states, “May God bless us still, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.”

#WednesdayWalk — Hope for the Forsaken

I strained to get a look at the man, but the mass of people made it difficult to get closer. I could barely make out what he was saying to the crowd.
