Day 189: Psalms 105-107
by Jonathan Merki on July 7th, 2024
This is Your day, and so it is ours. A day to gather and sing Your praise. A day along with our psalmists to remember and give thanks. A day to examine, confess and repent. A day to stand in the breach as we intercede for others and our world. You have been so good to us throughout the generations! You are our Hope and our Salvation! Today we humbly approach Your throne and we worship You with gla... Read More

by Jonathan Merki on July 6th, 2024
We are a part of those 'future generations' (Psalm 102:18) who revel in the worship, prayer, and poetry of these beautiful psalms.

Day 185: Psalms 77-80
by Jonathan Merki on July 3rd, 2024
Today, God our Father, we are grateful for the record of Your journey with Your people. In it we are reminded of two things (among many others): people are fickle; You are faithful (see Psalm 78). Forgive us our fickleness. May we live in Holy Spirit power and victory. Thank You for Your great faithfulness. May we honor You with our lives as much as we honor You with our lips! Today, make our very... Read More

Day 184: Psalms 70-76
by Jonathan Merki on July 2nd, 2024
As Your Word instructs us (1 Timothy 2:1-4) and the psalmists from time to time give us examples, we pray for those in authority over us. Lord God, give them wisdom to govern, humility to seek Your counsel and the counsel of the wise, courage to do what is right, and a commitment to what is just and true. If they are in error, show them their way. If they will not heed Your direction, then rule an... Read More
