Psalm 67

This is week has been fantastic. God has been revealing more and more. Therefore, I am joyed and thankful for His goodness.
I read this Psalm today and well...did you know you can pray to God for a blessing on yourself? It makes sense though...If we are to be like Jesus, we should definitely have the blessing and favor of the Father upon us. Jesus did and He walked in it. So why aren't we asking for His blessings and giving it to other people? I want to start as soon as possible.

Psalm 67

To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.

1 God be merciful to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us, Selah
2 That Your way may be known on earth,
Your salvation among all nations.

3 Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
4 Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy!
For You shall judge the people righteously,
And govern the nations on earth. Selah

5 Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
6 Then the earth shall yield her increase;
God, our own God, shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us,
And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

A few questions I asked myself recently,

Should our theology come from the person of Jesus?

Was it Jesus' purpose was to reveal the Father?

If so, did Jesus reveal the Father to an orphaned world?

Is Jesus the exact representation as the Father?

For me, its yes...yes...erm yes...uh yeah definitely!

A few thoughts,

I've been thinking about Jesus and what He did.It seems as though Jesus prayed and fasted in the kingdom/realm of the Father. The heavenly places. Thats where we should be. We generally pray and fast during/for crisis or trouble...but rarely if ever are we ever in. I don't know about you but I want to dwell in the kingdom of God here on this earth. I am not trying be mystical or hyperspiritual; but I want to do the things Jesus commanded us to do. no excuses.

I suppose that enough for today. I'm just thankful Im no longer sick.
So many more thoughts, yet so late...time for bed.
