Psa 68:19-20 Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah (20) Our God is the God of salvation; And to GOD the Lord belong escapes from death.
This Psalm speaks of God victory over the world. It tells of all the nations recognizing the one true God, and bringing to Him gifts out of respect and honor. The closest to this was that short period Solomon was on the throne and walking with the Lord. Even the Queen of Sheeba paid her respects and brought gifts to the Lord.
Think about the whole world bringing gifts and offerings to God! I was talking to Mr. O'Keefe when they had initially gotten home from Israel. The group had gone to the tomb to worship the Lord. He told me that as they were there, there were several different nationalities there just praising the name of Jesus. He said they started to worship God and in the end, there must have been 7 different languages at once praising the name of the Lord.
God daily loads us with benefits. To Him belongs salvation. And to God belongs escape from death. Truly as Christians the world has come to the Lord under that banner, "Our God is the God of salvation; And to GOD the Lord belong escapes from death." Travel around the world and you will find people holding on to this glorious hope. There is something universal about this message. Th idea of One, conquering death has always been in the hearts of men. In fact, eternity is in every man's heart. Live with an eternal perspective and give God praise. He daily loads us with benefits. Give Him Praise!
