Psalm 67 is a short, sunny song. It asks God to bless us - and then asks that the whole wide world would come to know how good He is.
Today's Story
Have you ever stood with the warm sun shining right on your face? It feels happy and bright and good. This song uses that warm, shining feeling to talk about God.
It starts with a gentle prayer: “God, please be kind to us and bless us. Let Your face shine on us like warm sunshine.”
But the song does not stop there. It has a big, beautiful wish. The singer wants God's goodness to spread out everywhere, so that everyone in the whole world will know how wonderful He is.
“Let all the people praise You, God!” the song sings. “Let every single person praise You! Let the whole world be glad and sing for joy!”
Can you picture children in every country - kids who speak all different languages, kids near snowy mountains and kids near sandy beaches - all singing happy songs to the same good God? That is the picture this song paints.
God's love is not just for one family or one place. It is big enough for the whole world. And when God blesses us, we get to share that good news with everybody.
