Leading The Way - Devotional for June 30
June 30, 2026
From Every Corner
By Michael A. Youssef, Ph.D.
We all want peace. In fact, the ancient people of God in the Old Testament were longing for peace. They looked forward to a day when that peace would be established by God Himself, and Psalm 87 reveals their longing for the peace of God. It demonstrates how they looked forward to the day when people from every nation would be reconciled with God and one another in His holy city.
The psalmist was looking forward to the day when believers from every corner of the globe will come together with love for God and one another. In that day, the holy city will be founded on the Rock of Ages, the Lord Jesus Christ. Any ministry, any church, or any home that is not built on that foundation will crumble. Any foundation other than the Rock of Ages is sinking sand.
People will come to God through Jesus Christ from every corner of the globe, from every tongue, from every nation, from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and from the ends of the earth. Revelation also declares this sure hope: “After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands” (Revelation 7:9).
Our God is the God of the universe. Our God is a global God. Our God loves all people everywhere, equally. When our only focus is our little world and our little problems, we miss out on the great joy of fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives.
God’s purpose was revealed before the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ in Bethlehem: People will come to know Him on an intimate basis through the Lord Jesus Christ, His Son, from every corner of the globe.
Prayer: Father, help me to remember that You are a global God and that You care about everyone, everywhere. Thank You for the promise of peace with You and all people in Your holy city to come. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
“I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me—Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush—and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion’” (Psalm 87:4).
