May God bless us still, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him. Psalm 67:7

It’s interesting that the writer of this Psalm would equate us being blessed with the world fearing Him for doing it.

As you look at current events around the world and Christians who hope to bless the world, there’s still a lot of violence and persecution against those who claim His name. It’s no accident that Christians are being singled out. Satan hates the deeds of Believers and will do what he can to stop it. He thinks that maiming and destroying Believers will squelch the work of God around the world. In clear irony, the Church grows. That in itself is a testament to the power of the Holy Spirit in the life of Believers.

Now there is great sadness for families and friends of those who do sacrifice their lives, but in the end the Church blossoms. Many lives have been transformed when they saw the resilience of the church in the face of persecution.

The ends of the earth really do fear Him.
