Psalms 67:1-7

Israel asks to be blessed so that God’s will and His salvation may be known through all the earth (vv. 1, 2). We are so often concerned about ourselves in our prayers. Let us pray that the grace which has been shown to us and the blessings we enjoy may be noticed by those around us and that they may thereby be attracted to the Lord Jesus.

The epistle to the Romans (Romans 9:1-33; Romans 10:1-21; Romans 11:1-36) explains to us how Israel has been set aside to allow God to extend His grace to the Gentile nations. It shows us also how the participation of the Gentiles in the promises made to Abraham was intended to provoke the Jews to jealousy (read Romans 11:11-12). But under the kingly sceptre of the Messiah, there will be room for both the one and the other (Psalms 22:27). All the nations of the world will be blessed with the Jewish people. It will no longer be a matter of jealousy or national pride; Israel will have only one desire: to see all the peoples rejoicing in God and praising Him (vv. 3, 5). Then the Lamb will be exalted in heaven and on earth as He is worthy. "Thou hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation . . ." (Revelation 5:9).
