Day 305: Luke 10-11; Psalm 134
by Jonathan Merki on October 31st, 2024
We will ever stand with the disciples in need of Your instruction, Lord Jesus: "Teach us to pray." Your prayer was so simple and yet so profound. It was not wordy, but it said so much. It was reverent but intimate, and audacious in its asking. Too often we are impressed with our own words. Forgive us. Or, we believe our lack of eloquence matters to you. Forgive us. When we come with a half-focused... Read More

Day 304: Luke 9; Psalm 133
by Jonathan Merki on October 30th, 2024
Father, You love perfectly and live in perfect communion, the Holy Trinity...Father, Son, Holy Spirit. You want us to grow in Your kind of love and learn to live in Your kind of communion. Our world clearly does not understand this, but Your Church, Your Family must. This brings You joy. Help us to be the cause of Your joy when You see us, and the world sees us, living together as You do in love a... Read More

Day 303: Luke 7-8; Psalm 132
by Jonathan Merki on October 29th, 2024
Lord Jesus, Your compassion for the crowds is reflected in the pouring out of Yourself for them. You never stop giving of Yourself. You heal, You set free, You raise the dead, You forgive, You teach, You listen. If You needed to go aside to pray, to keep Your life in perspective, to keep Your relationship with the Father fresh, how much more do we. In the midst of these days, our Lord, thank You t...

Day 302: Luke 5-6; Psalm 131
by Jonathan Merki on October 28th, 2024
In a restless world, we rest in You. Our confidence and security is not from within ourselves, but in You alone. Our contentment is not in the things we have nor is it in our own accomplishments. Likewise, we are not discontented and fearful, for we are in Your presence even now, and to know You is to know shalom. Yes, like a child safe in the arms of the father, full and satisfied through the nur... Read More

Day 301: Luke 3-4; Psalm 130
by Jonathan Merki on October 27th, 2024
Thank You, Father, that we have not only found full and complete forgiveness in You (Psalm 130:3-4), but we have, through Christ, also received Your favor (Luke 4:19). In this salvation that is full and free, in this hope that is sure, we rejoice. As we gather this Lord's Day, may the worship that we offer bring You joy and may it overflow into our daily living. In the Name of Jesus we ask. Amen.... Read More

Day 300: Luke 1-2; Psalm 129
by Jonathan Merki on October 26th, 2024
Lord, our Creator and our Savior, may the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ into this world and all that surrounds that blessed event never grow old. Indeed, may it always fill us with wonder. May we be in awe of a God Who comes into our world and walks with us. May we join the shepherds and the aged who encountered Jesus and gave God glory. May we marvel at His wisdom and welcome His presence. And ... Read More
