Come

“All the earth will worship You and sing praise to You. They will sing praise to Your name.” (Psalm 66:4 CSB)

The Lord our God is worthy of praise, and ultimately all the earth will sing praise to Him. The psalmist invites those who wish to worship the Lord to come and do two things.


First, in verse 5 he writes, “Come and see the works of God; His acts toward mankind are awe-inspiring.” One does not have to look far to see the works of God. Look first in the mirror. You will be seeing the creation of God. God created you. And He has a plan for your life. He seeks good for your life and wants you to experience the blessing of knowing your Creator. He is working toward that goal, shaping, challenging, even disciplining you so that can happen.

Second in verse 18 the psalmist writes, “Come and listen, all who fear God, and I will tell you what He has done for me.” So not only does he invite you to come and see, but he invites you to come and listen to the testimony of how God has worked. There is a message of truth that dwells in the heart and mind of every believer, a testimony of how we each have experienced God. There is a message of truth as well in the Word of God, a message for us each day, and if we go there we will find it.

The invitation to you, to each of us this day, is to come and see and then come and listen.

Lord, Today we come before You. Help us to open our eyes and see the great works You are doing in us and around us. Help us to open our ears and listen to the truth of Your word. Amen.
