Blessing 31- Psalms 67:1, 2

Psalms 67:1, 2
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.

This is a multifaceted prayer asking for God’s abundant blessings to be poured out individually, as a nation and upon mankind as a whole.
What would be the fate of mankind if God doesn’t sustain him moment by moment?
Read the verses below and we will know what we really are:
The psalmist says,
You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath. (Psalm 39:5)
You rebuke and discipline men for their sin; you consume their wealth like a moth - each man is but a breath. (Psalm 39:11)
Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath. (Psalm 62:9)
God cares for us and nurtures us and sustains us despite our sins, shortcomings, unrighteousness and unfaithfulness. He is God and cannot change his nature. He loves you.
