Morning Thought: God’s blessing has a purpose beyond your immediate self. It serves to make God’s ways shine on earth so that the nations and all the peoples praise and fear him. Today, ask God to bless you, but also remember its ultimate goal. “May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us— so that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you….May God bless us still, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.” (Ps 67:1-3, 7 NIV)
