Psalm 72 ends with these words: “Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.”

These divinely inspired Lines actually gave me the “seed thought” for today’s Lesson.

“Let THE WHOLE EARTH be filled with His Glory!” Psalm 72:19, King James Version.

The “whole earth,” not just a continent or two!

And that verb “filled” translates “male” in Hebrew, meaning “to the greatest extent, wholly saturated, to the point of overflowing!”

And God’s Glory, is It definable??

“Kabod” has here the sense of all God’s Attributes, combined! In other words, the very Presence of God Himself!

Yes, a very big Prayer!

The earth that is now worshipping the devil! Who has no intentions of giving up his domain!

Already I see a war of epic proportion in the future! Armageddon, Gog and Magog, Revelation chapters 19 and 20!

And our Lord will prevail, gloriously!

Now if we read Isaiah 6:3 properly, our prayer just became a reality! The angels declare: “Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the WHOLE EARTH is full of his glory.”

The Psalmist agrees! “The HEAVENS declare the glory of God; and the FIRMAMENT sheweth his handywork.” Psalm 19:1

The Old Testament Prophets see a yet brighter Day ahead! “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the GLORY of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.” Habakkuk 2:14

Big thoughts!

But an even greater (bigger) God!

So, back to my initial thought, let us pray big prayers! They will be answered when voiced in the Will of God!

Here is God inviting us to pray like that: “I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: OPEN THY MOUTH WIDE, and I will fill it.” Psalm 81:10
