Psalm 68 as a Missionary Prayer

The title of this post is the sub-title of the book The Goings of God by Paul Shepherd. This book was published by the Middle East Christian Outreach in 1986. According to the back cover:

Dr. Paul Shepherd served in a mission hospital in Egypt from 1953 to 1956. From 1957 onwards he spent nearly 20 years in Eritrea, where a rural hospital was built near the Sudan border, to reach nomadic Muslim tribes and train Eritreans in simple medical work and evangelistic witness. Since having to leave Eritrea because of the civil war he has been Assistant General Director of Middle East Christian Outreach, based in Cyprus.

I’m just amazed that I stumbled upon the book in one of my many still-unpacked boxes in my study. I was actually looking for a book on Relevance Theory. That will have to wait for another time.

I had no idea I even owned this book but what wonderful timing to find it now. Obviously someone who lived in Egypt and Eritrea would have a unique perspective on this psalm.

How might Psalm 68 be a missionary prayer?
