Psalm 117(NLT)
1 Praise the Lord, all you nations.
Praise him, all you people of the earth.
2 For he loves us with unfailing love;
the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever.
Praise him, all you people of the earth.
2 For he loves us with unfailing love;
the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever.
Praise the Lord!
This Psalm reminds me of my time last summer in Honduras. We had some beautiful moments with the women there under a tent in the extreme heat. Somehow when we started sharing the Lord, the heat didn't seem to matter anymore. One particular day, we were able to worship together. Someone translated a simple praise chorus we were familiar with into Spanish. "Gracias Cristo, Gracias Cristo, Gracias Cristo," the words rang out through the village! I don't know how to describe to you how full and beautiful the sound of our blended voices was. It certainly wasn't that we all sang on key or that our Tennessee accents blended well with their fluent Spanish. No, it was that our hearts were united in one accord. We were no longer a group from the US and a group from Honduras. In that moment, we were one group...the Body! What joy! What nation other than your own has the Lord led you to fall in love with? How is He leading you to pray for them today?
