Psalms 19 Gospel

-


 “1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. 2 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, 5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race. 6 Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.”

Psalms 19 is known as one of the most referenced passages about the Word of God. Recently while reading the first part, I started to wonder why Paul decided to reference this part in Romans 10 while he was speaking about the spread of the Gospel. Then I started to think--What can we learn from Psalms 19 to better understand the nature of our Gospel?

I can think of two features of our Gospel:

1-Maybe our testimony should be universal similar to the creation which is declaring the glory of God. Everybody who lives has a chance to see the creation and think how magnificent the Creator must be. Similarly, all nations should have a chance to hear the gospel and think how loving their Creator must be.

2-Maybe our testimony should be spread everywhere. Nothing is hidden from the sun’s heat; nothing should be hidden from the reach of the gospel.

Impossible Task?

I know this sounds like an impossible task to achieve, but by the grace of God who created the sun and made its light reach everywhere, we can trust our God who created us and strengthened us to have his gospel heard everywhere.

Pray with me: 

Please join me in praying that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into His harvest (Matthew 9:38). And that God would grant us that with all boldness we may speak his word (Acts 4:30). I want to encourage you today because God listens to this prayer as in Acts 4:31, “they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.” He said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them ......I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20).

You are not alone; so take your place and shine God’s Gospel everywhere!

God is faithful

Mosses, David, Abraham and Joseph When we think of them we think of the salvation leader of Israel, the mighty king of praise, the blessed father of faith, the man who defeated sin and hanger. These are the ideas that come to our minds when we remember them, but in their history there is something different, something common between those heroes and period of time they all lived with faith above all doubts. And here it is; they all kept their faith in God while they were waiting for his promises to come true. It took God 40 years to reveal to Mosses how he will use him to deliver his nation, while David lived rejected and escaping from the king even though he was the anointed real king, Abraham was promised a blessings and a son who shall inherit this blessing while all wisdom and previous experiences were saying this was impossible and unreasonable. Finally Joseph was given a vision from God and for years he was treated as a guilty slave in jail. They all waited in the hard time, in t

This should be my life

Today I asked myself what is the most important thing in my life? It is a familiar question but finding the best answer is so important because this answer will determine your priorities, choices, goals and plans otherwise your life is just hanging around with no clear purpose or principles. The first idea that came to my mind is to be happy, but wait a minuet I recognize this voice, I usually hear it while I am hungry or tired. Yeah! it is the voice of the natural human living within me. Happiness can't be a reason for living otherwise I will be so self-centered and greedy. Happiness supposed to be a result of achieving a higher goal. But what is a good target? How about the challenge to work as hard as possible to achieve my targets lets say success, money, power or even competing with others to be a better person. No way, I still have the same problem, this also sounds even more selfish Since my first two guesses were self-centered, I started to look around me and realized I am

How to deal with healthcare burdens

  “The doctor has just told me I have pancreases cancer. I didn’t hear anything he said after that, would you please explain to me what does this mean again.” “Can you check for me again the diagnosis, I thought I have lung cancer but the papers mentioned something about kidney cancer and you said the drug is for kidney cancer, correct? I thought I have only one cancer.” A patient in his early forties sounded brilliant, full of energy and so friendly over the phone. He thought he had a cold but was told it is a late-stage cancer with a very low survival rate. A woman in her twenties said, “I take my transplant medications every day. I almost lost my kidney functions. I don’t want to lose this kidney because my previous three transplants have already failed. “ The last clinical note read, “He was upset he needs a bone marrow transplant. He knows his chances are not high” I prepared my call, trying to be encouraging, and when I called, I was told he passed away. How do you dea
