Psalm 67 is about how God blesses us so that we may help all peoples know and celebrate his saving power.

Read Psalm 67 aloud together.

---

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, Selah that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Selah Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him!

Discuss the Psalm together:

– For what are you most grateful regarding your spiritual journey: (lessons learned about yourself, God and the gospel)?

– The Psalmist asks God to be gracious and bless His people throughout this Psalm. How has God blessed you? (be specific: health, relationships, possessions, abilities). How might these blessings be put to use in helping non-Christian people better understand Jesus and his gospel?

– What tends to distract or hinder you from reaching out to people who are different from you?

– How should this psalm adjust our perspective on other races, cultures and nations? What does Psalm 67 reveal about God’s compassion for others?

Close in Prayer: Ask God to be gracious to you. Ask God to bring to mind those around you who you can bless with the gifts that God has given you, that they may know Him and praise His name forever!
