Day 290
Psalm 86:9
"All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee,0 Lord, and shall glorify thy name."
It is good for us to experience worshipping our Lord with people of other nations. Psalm 86 shows that David recognized that all nations were made by God and should worship Him. Eventhough he lived during a time when Israel was the only nation known for worshipping the true and living God, David realized it was the will of God for everyone to worship Him.
When we only witness people of our nation worshipping God, we can become very small-minded relative to the greatness of our God. We can possibly become unreasonably proud, thinking we are the people of God. As we join with our brothers and sisters of other nations, it helps us understand that the church of the Lord Jesus Christ consists of a multitude of people of different cultural backgrounds who had the same experience we have had. Regardless of where we were on earth, we all had to recognize we were lost and needed to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Revelation 5:9 NIV says, "And they sang a new song: You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchase men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation."
I will take advantage of opportunities to worship with my brothers and sisters of different nations. I will glorify the Lord for His greatness, as I recognize that His love and power covers the globe and my spiritual family is made up of people all over the world I humbly give God thanks for allowing me to be part of the great church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
