Exalted Among The Nations
May 13, 2010
Over the last several years “globalization” has become a frequent word. Whatever happens regardless of where in the world it happens, we immediately are made aware of the event. While at times this globalization can concern us; it does remind us that we have opportunity to take the gospel to the world in many differnt and quick ways. It also reminds us, as believers, that God is comfortably on His throne and in charge, and He is bringing all things to the conclusion He desires for His glory. In Ps. 46:10, the writer says for us to be still (quit striving) and know that God is supreme, and that He will be exalted (made high) among the nations and in the earth. We used to sing a song – This is my Father’s world and indeed it is! Recently I had an experience that reminded me that this globe is really “small.” I was having phone line problems so I called AT&T to help. A technician help me and ran diagonistics over the phone. As we were waiting for the test to finish, he said – I guess we can just talk. In our conversation I asked him where he was located. I could tell he was not from the south and figured mid-west. He said he was located in the Philippines! Amazing, here I was in Arkansas, talking to a guy in the Philippines, and he fixed my phone line in Arkansas. As I thought about it, I realized our world is small and our God is big. He has commanded that we take His gospel to all the world, and today as never before we can do it in many different ways. the challenge is – will we and how will we?
