Please read Psalm 49.

blueletterbible.org/nasb/psa/49/1/s_527001

Meditate on verses 1 and 7-8a.

Hear this, all peoples: give ear, all inhabitants of the world.

No man can by any means redeem his brother

or give to God a ransom for him—

for the redemption of his soul is costly…

God wants every person on earth to hear this psalm.

The psalmist was surrounded by sin and adversity, poverty and wealth, but he knew death puts an end to all those things, but death cannot put an end to a person’s soul. The soul of every human lives forever, either with God or separated from God. The cost to redeem a soul was expensive; it cost God His life. Every human must know and believe the story of redemption to live forever with God.

Do not let Satan distract you with his evil. Do not be consumed by the news of the day; be consumed by the love of your Savior who died, so you can live. That is the news that must be told. Ask your LORD to remove your fears and help you tell others the story of Jesus Christ.

Pray Psalm 49:3 and 15 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, let _______ and my mouth speak wisdom

 and the meditation of our hearts be understanding.  

God, redeem the soul of __________ from the power of Sheol (hell).

Let them choose You, so You will receive them.

In Your name, Jesus~”
