Psalm $67.07 Blessing Reaches

To The Ends Of The Earth

One morning, I was having my daily devotions and I came across Psalm 67:7 that says, “God blesses us that all the ends of the earth will worship Him.” At work that day, I was given a small bonus. My first thought was: How can I use this financial blessing to help someone at the ends of the earth? That night in my small-group meeting, I was talking with a young woman who was going on a mission trip to a small island in the Philippines. That sure sounded like the ends of the earth to me. So with Psalm 67:7 still on my mind, I gave her $67.07 and told her when she got to her destination at the ends of the earth, to find someone that really needed help and give them the $67.07. A few weeks later, I got a letter from a young Filipino man telling me he received the money and that it met a great need in his life.
