“May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways, O God, may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. May the peoples praise you, O God, may all the peoples praise you.”
(Psalm 67: 1 – 3)
What a momentous year this looks like being for us all, sadly not for the most positive of reasons as we see life disrupted in our churches and across our communities. This should give us all the more reason to turn to our God and put our trust fully in His mighty hands. As the year unfolds, and we all come to terms with our new realities, let us despite the very obvious hardships, all seek to capture something of the Psalmist’s sense of enthusiasm to celebrate God and what He has done for us and to joyfully share this good news with those whom we meet in our daily lives.
