Day 323: Acts 8-9; Psalm 2
by Jonathan Merki on November 18th, 2024
Laughter is not foreign to You, O Lord. Sometimes You laugh at the ludicrous...the notion that any nation, any organization, any person can believe for a moment that they can rule and overrule You (Psalm 2:4). You are Sovereign! Sometimes You laugh at the delivery of the impossible...the birth of a baby to a nonagenarian (Genesis 21:1-6) is a reminder that there is nothing beyond Your power or car... Read More

Day 322: Acts 5-7; Psalm 1
by Jonathan Merki on November 17th, 2024
Father, Jesus instructed us to forgive. He prayed, "Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us." One modern disciple wrote it this way, "Forgive us our sins and impositions on you as we are forgiving all who in any way offended us." Thank You for the example of Stephen who acted as his Lord did from the cross (Acts 7:59-60). Remind us that we are given grace in Your forgiveness tha... Read More

Day 319: John 18-19; Psalm 148
by Jonathan Merki on November 14th, 2024
Psalm 148 reminds us that all creation worships You, our Creator. You wield infinite power and merit universal praise. Yet, one seeker asks, "What does the Creator of the universe do with infinite power?" His answer: "You show it by laying it aside, taking on human form, dying the worst kind of death imaginable, then taking up Your life again in resurrection, You defeat death forever." You are wor...

Day 318: John 15-17; Psalm 147
by Jonathan Merki on November 13th, 2024
Lord Jesus, Your prayer for us is so profound. We are overwhelmed by Your care for us and by Your desire that we be a vital part of Your Family and Your plan to reach the world. As we read this prayer, we are mindful that we cannot manage to live in the flow of Your prayer without momentary abiding in Your presence. This we cannot do without the Gift of the Holy Spirit, the Helper, Comforter. Come... Read More
