Read Numbers 31, Psalm 116-118
Sometimes we don’t need to say much to get our point across. My grandfather was a preacher and when my brother and I were younger occasionally we would go spend the weekend with them and go to church with them on a Sunday. I always liked going to their church for several reasons, but one of those was that my grandfather’s sermons were usually no longer that 12-15 minutes. He had a knack for saying what he wanted to say in a short and sweet way without belaboring the point.
Psalm 117 is the smallest psalm in the Bible. It consists of two verses. Twenty-nine words in English (26 in Hebrew). The short and simple message is a message to all the nations to praise the Lord for his great love. God’s love is faithful throughout all generations.
Here is the entire psalm.
Praise the Lord, all you nations;
extol him, all you peoples.
2 For great is his love towards us,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures for ever.
Praise the Lord.
