Read Psalm 22:25-31

Read Psalm 22:25-31

²⁵   In the full assembly I will praise you for what you have done;

in the presence of those who worship you

I will offer the sacrifices I promised.

²⁶   The poor will eat as much as they want;

those who come to the Lord will praise him.

May they prosper for ever!

²⁷   All nations will remember the Lord.

From every part of the world they will turn to him;

all races will worship him.

²⁸   The Lord is king,

and he rules the nations.

²⁹   All proud people will bow down to him;^l

all mortals will bow down before him.

³⁰   Future generations will serve him;

they will speak of the Lord to the coming generation.

³¹   People not yet born will be told:

“The Lord saved his people.”

Think

Psalm 22 moves beautifully from brokenness to hope.  Hope that is given by God.  Verses 25-31 are the Psalmist's response to the hope that God has given; praise, generosity, the hope of a world that will turn to God.

Pray

Spend some time thinking of the times the Lord has delivered you.  Have you responded appropriately?  Give thanks to God for his grace.
