Day 151: 2 Chronicles 1-3; John 12:1-19
by Jonathan Merki on May 31st, 2023
Have you ever thought of delighting God with your prayers? What would that look like? King Solomon was a prime example in the moment of his life we read about in 2 Chronicles 1:1-13. God: "Ask for any thing, Solomon." Solomon: "Give me wisdom." God heard his request, looked in his heart and gave him wisdom with everything that he did not request added. Jesus is the supreme example of delighting Go... Read More

Day 150: 1 Chronicles 27-29; John 11:45-57
by Jonathan Merki on May 30th, 2023
God rules and overrules His purpose to complete. From the Sanhedrin (Israel's political-religious ruling council) suggesting that they could control Jesus...'if we let him go on like this' (John 11:48)...to the High Priest believing he could manage the execution of one in place of the many (John 11:50), their arrogance becomes prophetic. For, behind the scenes and in front of their eyes, God was u... Read More

Day 149: 1 Chronicles 24-26; John 11:28-44
by Jonathan Merki on May 29th, 2023
Perhaps the most personally endearing words about the Man, Christ Jesus, are: "Jesus wept" (John 11:35). The Complete Jewish Bible records: "Yeshua cried," while The Passion Translation expands the recorded scene: "Then tears streamed down Jesus' face." There are no words beyond the greatest encounter with Jesus in which He declares, "Your sins are forgiven!" that draw me into His intimate presenc... Read More

Day 148: 1 Chronicles 22-23; John 11:1-27; Day 50 Prayer Journal
by Jonathan Merki on May 28th, 2023
Today is Pentecost Sunday, the 50th day from Easter (Resurrection Day), the celebration of the giving of Torah (the Law), and, the Birthday of the Church. It is no accident that we read King David's preparation for the building of the temple which Solomon would undertake (1 Chronicles 22-23). Today we celebrate what Paul affirms, that in establishing His Church, God transitioned the temple from an... Read More

Day 147: 1 Chronicles 20-21; John 10:22-42; Day 49 Prayer Journal
by Jonathan Merki on May 27th, 2023
David answered Gad, “I’m in anguish. Please, let me fall into the LORD’s hands because his mercies are very great, but don’t let me fall into human hands.” (1 Chronicles 21:13, CSB)It is true! God forgives completely and remembers our sins against us no more! On the other hand, humans have long memories and, apart from God, can hold our sins over us for a lifetime. Sometimes the recipients of merc... Read More

Day 146: 1 Chronicles 17-19; John 10:1-21; Day 48 Prayer Journal
by Jonathan Merki on May 26th, 2023
As I was reading today's Prayer Journal on 2 Timothy 3:16-17, that 'all Scripture is breathed into by God', my mind was taken back to our recent conversation about the Name God gave Moses ("I Am" - Exodus 3:14) being transliterated, YHWH, and in Hebrew sounding like breath - YH = inhale; WH = exhale. Every time we breathe, we speak His Name. He is our Life, our Breath.Next, my mind went to a video... Read More
