Day 317: John 12-14; Psalm 146
by Jonathan Merki on November 12th, 2024
We want to see Jesus. Like those Greeks at the Passover (John 12:21), we want to see Him. We want to see Him through the day in the usual places, like our devotional times. We want to see Him in unexpected places, reminding us that He is everywhere present. We want to see Him in our lives, shining through our lives. We want to see His glory and reflect it. Open our eyes to see Jesus today. Amen.... Read More

Day 316: John 10-11; Psalm 145
by Jonathan Merki on November 11th, 2024
The word for today is 'believe.' It is used 14 times in our reading in John (John 10-11). The question You ask, Lord Jesus, must be answered: "Do you believe?" The statement preceding that is "I AM..." Believing is seeing that You are 'I AM' and living out that belief. Not believing is disobedience. May we take in every aspect of 'believe' and may we live it. And, if we are feeling our own weaknes... Read More

Day 315: John 8-9; Psalm 144
by Jonathan Merki on November 10th, 2024
Lord Jesus, for sin that is real (John 8:1-11) and sin that is perceived (John 9:1-7), Your answer is the same...it is the truth that sets us free (John 8:31-32). For You, Lord Jesus, call us from our life of sin and in repentance lead us to a life of freedom, living Your way. And, in living Your way, those lessons we learned from bad experiences, or brokenness, or misinformed culture that have ca... Read More

Day 314: John 7; Psalm 143
by Jonathan Merki on November 10th, 2024
Your timing is perfect. Like Your brothers (John 7:3), we so often have a solution for what seems to be a challenge...as if You would need our wisdom, or need to be prompted by our plans. You work in Your way in Your time. What You plan, You accomplish, and nothing can thwart what You set out to do. Help us to rest in Your timing and teach us Your will that we may walk in Your way (Psalm 143:10). ... Read More

Day 313: John 5-6; Psalm 142
by Jonathan Merki on November 8th, 2024
To You, O Lord, we come. You alone are our life, our sustenance, our hope. You not only are Life, You speak Life. So, we hold fast to You. In You we are at home and at peace. In You we rest. So, O Lord, to You we come and we know we shall never be disappointed.... Read More

Day 312: John 2-4; Psalm 141
by Jonathan Merki on November 7th, 2024
How can we ever forget the moment we were born anew into Your family, Lord Jesus? Forever we are grateful for Your great and amazing grace! May our belief in Who You are and what You have done for us be so great that we live it out for Your glory and for the world to see, so that they may know You and come to love the God Who so loved them first! Amen!... Read More
