Scripture: Psalm 22:27
Devotion
Psalm 22 is an epic chapter of prophecy, describing in great detail the events of the cross hundreds of years before Jesus walked the earth. It outlines the gospel and reveals God’s intricate plan to save the whole world. But as the chapter comes to a close, verse 27 declares that “all the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You.” It announces that the Lord rules over every nation.
From Genesis to Revelation, we see Jesus as our redeemer and friend. We discover that this truth and power are not limited to just you and me but should be shared with every nation, tribe, and tongue. We have access to this great news: Jesus came to earth, lived a perfect life—one that you and I never could—and sacrificed Himself on our behalf. It is not only our responsibility but should be our honor to share this good news with every corner of the earth.
While not every believer may feel called to international missions, you might be. Take some time to pray about where God may be leading you for the sake of the gospel.
A Personal Prayer
- Ask God to break your heart for the nations and for those who are lost and searching. Pray for clarity in how He has called you to go—whether on a mission journey, for a longer commitment, or by supporting others who are called. Ask Him to draw people from all nations to Himself so that all may hear the good news of Jesus.
