Psalm 18:49
49 Therefore will I give thanks [yadah] unto thee, O LORD, [Yahovah]
among the heathen, [gowy] and sing praises [zamar] unto thy name. [shem] KJV-Interlinear
49
Therefore I will give thanks to Thee among the nations, O Lord, And I will sing
praises to Thy name. NASB
As a believer in Christ,
you are member of Gods family. Gods family is the same as Gods nation, for in
number all believers probably will number into the trillions coming from all
corners of the world and from all periods of human history.
Our nation is at home in
heaven. Here on this earth, we are but
visitors, representatives, ambassadors, representing our home nation, which is
heaven.
All of the nations of
this world as not ours, but belong to the world which hosts an unbelieving
world operating under the policies of evil all of which originated with Satan.
So, as believers we live
in this world, and among the heathen. A
heathen is a term that identifies an uncultured, uneducated, dysfunctional
person. And since Bible doctrine is the source of knowledge and cultivation of
truth and function, then anyone who lacks doctrine is classified as a heathen. Appearance is irrelevant.
We have been dropped into
history from the moment of our birth, and into this world. As such we are at risk from the world, and
were it not for Gods grace, the world would consume us. But as believers, God has poured out His
grace in many forms in order to protect us for our eventual return call to
home, our true home, which is heaven.
For this and many other
things which are beyond counting, we have an obligation, even if only out of
common sense, for praising God for all that He has and continues to do for us,
on an ongoing moment by moment basis.
