When God’s face shines on his people, it means they reflect his image. Then, God’s ways will be revealed to all people on earth through us. It is right to pray to be blessed when our goal is to reveal Jesus to the world.
We should envision and pray for God’s kingdom to come on the earth so that people of all nations will praise him. When the Lord guides the nations of the earth, there will be true equity. In the meantime, we can sing for joy and praise God with all our heart and soul.
Prayer: Father, thank you for giving us a joyful vision of all people of all nations praising you. Help me use my blessings as a testimony to others. Help me keep a joyful heart to praise you.
One Word: Be glad and sing for joy!
