The Ultimate Disconnect

Psalm 67

1 May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, Selah 

2 that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. 

3 Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! 

4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Selah 

5 Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! 

6 The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, shall bless us. 

7 God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him! 

One Truth...

• God blesses His people for the sake of His praise among all peoples.

one danger...

• We are prone to disconnect God’s blessing in our lives from God’s purpose for our lives.

Realize Who God is...

• He is the Gracious Savior.

• He is the Righteous Judge.

• He is the Sovereign King.

Realize Why God Blesses...

• He aims to be known among all peoples.

• He aims to be enjoyed by all peoples.

• He aims to be feared by all peoples.

Realize What This means...

• This prayer must be constant on our lips.

• This purpose must captivate our lives.

• This promise must compel risk-taking, life-giving, death-defying confidence in our Lord.
