"...to the ends of the earth..."

“According to Your name, O God, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth…”
Psalm 48:10

There are two applications of this verse.  Both are legitimate.

First, as large as the whole earth is, it is not large enough to contain the praises due God.  As He is greater than the earth, so is His praise-worthiness.  This is good to remember when the fears and anxieties that are all too common in our lives overshadow our praised to the God who is worthy of all praise all of the time.

Second, after 2,000+ years, there are still places on this planet where Christ is not known. 

  • Let us be encouraged that it is God’s plan that the gospel of Christ go to every people group in the world. 

  • Let us pray for and support missionary efforts that broadcast Christ and His glorious gospel. 

  • And let us be reminded that in eternity, the praises of God in Heaven will rise from a choir made up of people from every tribe, tongue and nation!

Hallelujah!
