“The Psalms provide us with the hymnbook of the Old Testament. Here we discover the glory and greatness of the Lord in relation to the nations. God is sovereign over all peoples and nations (e.g., Pss. 22:28; 47:8; 82:8), his glory extends “to the ends of the world” (19:4), and all the peoples have seen it (97:6). Numerous prayers call for God to manifest his glory in all the earth (e.g., Pss. 57:5, 11; 72:19; 108:5).“
Take some time today to pray for God’s glory to spread among the nations. Pray by name for any missionaries you know.
