Listen

Let the people thank you, God! Let all the people thank you! Let the people celebrate and shout with joy because you judge the nations fairly and guide all nations on the earth. Let the people thank you, God! Let all the people thank you!

Psalm 67:3-5

Think

I love that this psalm mentions all the people. We can all find our home in God. God welcomes all to praise, sing for joy, and know God’s love and presence. When you think of God as your home, you realize that the blessings of God are not for us to hoard. We are to bring them with us to the ends of the earth. We bear those blessings with us with joy, with mouths full of praise.

But the blessing of God is not without judgement: God convicts those who act without justice, who travel the way of iniquity by holding back from others. God shows us a path that is right and the nations that follow it will be joyful. God’s path is one of equity for all people, a path of justice and joy.

Question to Ponder:

Where does our world, where do our lives, most need to change in order to make room for God’s justice?

Pray

God of justice, I pray for your blessings to find a home in me, that I may be part of the justice and equity you bring. Amen.

Go

Whatever you encounter today, remember that your home is always in God.
