Day 198: Psalms 20-22; Acts 19:21-41
by Jonathan Merki on July 16th, 2023
Familiar words start the Psalm that encompasses the passion of Jesus Christ (Psalm 22): "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Just this passage of Scripture alone would be enough to convince a true seeker of the valid claim of Jesus, God the Son, Messiah: "I AM." The prophetic words at the conclusion, we see fulfilled in Acts 19 and, still today."Their descendants will serve him; the next ge... Read More

Day 197: Psalms 17-19; Acts 19:1-20
by Jonathan Merki on July 15th, 2023
Pretenders are all around us. The account of the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19:11-20 has always fascinated me...and reminded me that 'pretending' is very dangerous. Outside pretenders will always be there. However, the right kind of 'fear of God' was put into the hearts of the Ephesian Christians after they witnessed the scattering sons, naked and humiliated. It was then that they realized that p... Read More

Day 196: Psalms 13-16; Acts 18
by Jonathan Merki on July 14th, 2023
'...for I have many in this city' (Acts 18:10)The temptation to believe we are all alone may plague us when we are going through adversity nd open opposition. Just a reminder that the One Who has promised: "I will never leave you or forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5) will often make His presence known through other persons. Again, these will often be able to identify with us in the challenges we face wit... Read More

Day 195: Psalms 10-12; Acts 17:16-34
by Jonathan Merki on July 13th, 2023
"For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds.The upright will see his face." (Psalm 11:7, CSB)."From one man he has made every nationality to live over the whole earth and has determined their appointed times and the boundaries of where they live. He did this so that they might seek God, and perhaps they might reach out and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we... Read More

Day 194: Psalm 7-9; Acts 17:1-15
by Jonathan Merki on July 12th, 2023
A delightful video made its appearance in my newsfeeds today. A reporter was walking around telling people he would give them $50 if they could quote one Scripture verse. This beautiful and vibrant, mature lady quoted Isaiah 40:21-31without hesitation. Caught off guard, the reporter congratulated the lady and gave her the $50. To which she retorted: "Praise the Lord!" as she waved the bill in the ... Read More

Day 193: Psalm 4-6; Acts 16:16-40
by Jonathan Merki on July 11th, 2023
"Know that the LORD has set apartthe faithful for himself;the Lord will hear when I call to him." (Psalm 4:3, CSB).They were on their way to prayer when Paul and Silas encountered trouble (Acts 16:16). They confronted that demon 'in the name of Jesus Christ' (16:18). There is power in the Name! Of course, they were imprisoned...you know the story. There they prayed and praised Jesus, the Powerful ... Read More
