From Every Corner

We all long for peace. The ancient people of God longed for it, too—looking forward to the day when God Himself would establish true and lasting peace. In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reflects on Psalm 87 and its vision of people from every nation coming together in God’s holy city. The psalmist looked ahead to a day when believers from every corner of the globe would be united in love for God and one another. That holy city is founded on the Rock of Ages, the Lord Jesus Christ. Any ministry, church, home, or life not built on Him will eventually crumble, because every foundation apart from Christ is sinking sand. Dr. Youssef points to Revelation’s breathtaking picture of a great multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language standing before the throne and before the Lamb. Our God is not a local or tribal deity—He is the God of the universe. He loves all people everywhere, equally, and His saving purpose extends to the ends of the earth. When we focus only on our little world and our little problems, we miss the joy of participating in God’s global purpose. This devotional will lift your eyes to the mission revealed even before Christ’s birth: that people everywhere would come to know God intimately through His Son, Jesus Christ. Prayer: Father, help me to remember that You are a global God and that You care about everyone, everywhere. Thank You for the promise of peace with You and all people in Your holy city to come. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me—Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush—and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion’” (Psalm 87:4).
