Day 339: 1 Corinthians 12-14; Psalm 18
by Jonathan Merki on December 4th, 2024
Let love be genuine and Christlike in us. Help us not make it conditional. Help us not cheapen love as our world does. By Your Spirit, help us to live the love that Christ taught and lived by growing daily in it. Let our lives be such that the world will testify about the Church: "Behold how they love one another." And, because of that, may the world be hungry and thirsty for that kind of love. Th... Read More

Day 338: 1 Corinthians 8-11; Psalm 17
by Jonathan Merki on December 3rd, 2024
Lord God, today may we be aware of those around us and aware of our influence and impact upon them. To the unbeliever, let us be prepared to give a reason for our hope in Christ when they note that our lives are different. To the young believer, keep us sensitive to our influence for their growth in grace so that we do not cause them to stumble but enable them to thrive. To those who have been on ... Read More

by Jonathan Merki on December 2nd, 2024
Thank You Lord that we belong to You! You have bought us at the ultimate cost to Yourself, the death of Your Son, Jesus Christ. So now, we are not our own, but Yours.

Day 336: Romans 16; 1 Corinthians 1-3; Psalm 15
by Jonathan Merki on December 1st, 2024
Lord, as we continue in prayer for our leaders, we pray specifically for those You have called to lead the church. It seems that we live in a day of spiritual attack. Not that this is new to You, for You have surrounded, protected and kept the church through the most challenging opposition. Guide our leaders by Your Spirit. Help them lead with wisdom, integrity and conviction. We pray for unity, f... Read More

Day 335: Romans 12-15; Psalm 14
by Jonathan Merki on November 30th, 2024
Lord God, it seems very fitting in this moment to lift up our government and all who govern us in any way...all You have placed in authority over us (Romans 13:1-5). Too often we find it easy to complain about and criticize our authorities when Your Word calls us to pray for them (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Indeed, we are to pray for Your manifest presence. Our desire should be for peace and right living..... Read More

Day 334: Romans 9-11; Psalm 13
by Jonathan Merki on November 29th, 2024
Today there is so much for which to be thankful, but let us focus on this: those who having been saved by grace through faith, could not remain silent. Indeed, they had to tell their story, the story of their divine encounter with Jesus, Savior and Lord. They bore witness by their lives. They cared deeply for our lives. Because they persisted, we have come to know this great salvation, full and fr... Read More
