Worldwide Worship (Ps. 67:3-5)

Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy;
For You will judge the peoples with uprightness
And guide the nations on the earth. Selah.
Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.

(Psalm 67:3-5 NASB)

Can you imagine a worldwide worship service, with everyone praising and glorifying God? Think of the most inspiring, heart-touching worship experience you’ve ever had and multiply it a thousand-fold.

Can you imagine?

Yesterday, my brothers and sisters at Chino Valley Community Church enjoyed a wonderful time of praise and worship, including one of my all-time favorites, “The Revelation Song.” You know the one: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain. Holy, Holy is He …”

Songs like that never fail to instill a sense of awe and wonder.

And one day, the whole world will praise Him. Can you imagine?

That’s exactly what we’ll enjoy. Paul wrote that, one day, “every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Phil. 2:10, NKJV).

I don’t know about you, but I cannot wait. Seriously. Cannot wait. I long for the day when I stand beside millions and millions of Christ-followers and lift my voice alongside theirs in praise and worship, giving all glory to the one true God.

One day. May it be soon!
