Praying for Saving All Nations

We have been given a huge task in being disciples of Jesus.  We are to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations and baptize in the name of the triune God.  I like how a similar desire for God's work was expressed centuries before Jesus' time.  It is in the prayer by the psalmist.....

"May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known upon earth, your saving power among all nations.  Ps. 67:1-2

Bringing God to all nations...it's a prayer that you and I can continue to pray today.  We realize certainly the missionary work that has been done over the last 100 years.  Think of how many places the gospel has now reached, how many nations now have had the saving news proclaimed to them. Yet, there are still those in need.

We think of America and how we have become very diverse, multicultural.  God's word needs to reach all kinds of folks.  There probably are many different expressions of worship that are needed and many different ways of communicating the message to people in this land.

Still, we need to pray even in our day that God would use you and me to reach those who are different from us....all so that God's way might be known upon the earth!
