Psalm 44:1-3

January 09, 2023

To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah. O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, what deeds You performed in their days, in the days of old: You with Your own hand drove out the nations, but them You planted; You afflicted the peoples, but them You set free; for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but Your right hand and Your arm, and the light of Your face, for You delighted in them.

Lord, Your cross drives out my sin and afflictions; Your right hand and arm. Your love, grace, and mercy are the light of Your face, shining Your delight upon me. Let Your delight be like a beacon, reflecting Your glory in my life for all to see.

Psalm 119:169-172

January 08, 2023

Let my cry come before you, O LORD; give me understanding according to your Word! Let my plea come before you; deliver me according to your Word. My lips will pour forth praise, for you teach me your statutes. My tongue will sing of your word, for all your commandments are right.

You are faithful, Lord, you do hear my cry, give me understanding and deliver me. My pleas do come before you, you are the all hearing One.

Great is your faithfulness. Oh God, my Father. Morning by morning, no turning I see. Your Word does not fail me, it guides and sustains me. Always there, always complete, always true, it defines goodness, righteousness and holiness.

Thank you, Lord, for the gift of the Holy Spirit to lead me into all truth. Thank you that you are opening the eyes of my heart to see and practice the unseen, those things which are eternal and speak of You and your Glory.

Psalm 119:25

January 07, 2023

My soul clings to the dust; give me life according to your word!

My soul clings to those old, filthy habits. Lord, why is it that I know that those ways of living are no longer necessary, that they are disobedient to Your word, that they are abhorrent to You and destructive to me? Why do I cling? Why will I not let go?

Will, Lord, my will versus Your will. The battle continues. Why is it that I cheer for You but secretly aid and abet the enemy? Lord, give me life; destroy my will, teach me to submit to Your will.

Psalm 18:18-24

January 06, 2023

They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support. He brought me out into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted in me. The LORD dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands He rewarded me. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. For all His rules were before me, and His statutes I did not put away from me. I was blameless before Him, and I kept myself from my guilt.

So the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

Yes, LORD, You have brought me into a broad and pleasant place, for You love me, but not because of my righteousness or the cleanness of my hands. The righteousness is the righteousness of the Lamb of God, the One chosen before the creation; the cleanness of His hands provides my entry into that broad and pleasant place. His obedience and blamelessness brought me into the family of the most High.

Psalm 119:66-68

January 05, 2023

Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in Your commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your word. You are good and do good; teach me Your statutes.

Your commandments are the source of all knowledge and wisdom. They are in place for my guidance as I seek to live a life that brings glory and honor to You. Help me, Lord Jesus, to carry that message into the prison and help all there to take Your Word into their lives.

Teach me to see the completeness, the totality, the marvelous breadth and scope of Your law. And empower me to teach others of that wondrous beauty.

Exodus 20:1-2,12

January 04, 2023

And God spoke all these words, saying, "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.... "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you."

Help me to understand what it means at this stage of my life fully to comprehend this commandment and how to live within it. Give me the wisdom to teach others as they approach caring for their parents in the latter days of their lives.

Psalm 16:8-11

January 02, 2023

I have set the LORD always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

Lord, now this is security. You are always at my right hand to guide me and prevent me from worry; I know that I will not be abandoned, that death has no sting, that You show the path of life to me, and that fullness of joy and pleasure are my lot forevermore.

Yet, Lord, I have trouble living the truth of this. I am aware that these are true, but to make them the center of my life, my raison d'etre, ah, therein lies the rub. Bring me, Lord, into those places that come from fully knowing You.

Psalm 136:10-22

December 30, 2022

To Him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, for His steadfast love endures forever; and brought Israel out from among them, for His steadfast love endures forever; with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, for His steadfast love endures forever; to Him who divided the Red Sea in two, for His steadfast love endures forever; and made Israel pass through the midst of it, for His steadfast love endures forever; but overthrew Pharaoh and His host in the Red Sea, for His steadfast love endures forever; to Him who led His people through the wilderness, for His steadfast love endures forever; to Him who struck down great kings, for His steadfast love endures forever; and killed mighty kings, for His steadfast love endures forever; Sihon, king of the Amorites, for His steadfast love endures forever; and Og, king of Bashan, for His steadfast love endures forever; and gave their land as a heritage, for His steadfast love endures forever; a heritage to Israel His servant, for His steadfast love endures forever.

Lord, You carried me out of the desperate place, demonstrating Your power and love as You swept away the scars and detritus of a life of rebellion; preparing a new place, a beautiful place, a place of rest and joy in Your presence. Your steadfast love endures forever.

Psalm 136:4-9

December 29, 2022

T o Him who alone does great wonders, for His steadfast love endures forever; to Him who by understanding made the heavens, for His steadfast love endures forever; to Him who spread out the earth above the waters, for His steadfast love endures forever; to Him who made the great lights, for His steadfast love endures forever; the sun to rule over the day, for His steadfast love endures forever; the moon and stars to rule over the night, for His steadfast love endures forever.

Lord, I do not stop in my busyness as I should to reflect upon how the heavens and all of creation demonstrate Your steadfast love. The great beauty that surrounds me, the marvelous interweavings of nature, the interdependencies of botany and biology, the ebb and flow of the seasons, the progression of the lights of the heavens; all speak loudly, to one with the ears to hear and the eyes to see, of Your steadfast love. Praise You, my Lord and my Master.
