Day 275: Micah 4-7; Nahum 1; Psalm 104
by Jonathan Merki on October 1st, 2024
In You there is no shame, or shaming, when people respond to Your pursuing grace and turn their hearts toward You. For, out of Your mercy, You show compassion. Your Word says that You completely crush our sins confessed and dump them into the sea of Your forgetfulness (Micah 7:19). Since Jesus, Savior, is our Peace (Micah 5:5a), our shame has turned into shalom, and the tragedy of our hell-bound l... Read More

by Jonathan Merki on September 29th, 2024

In all we do and say, may we be fully present to You. May Your word to us from Your Word for us be heard and embraced and lived.

Day 272: Amos 3-7; Psalm 101
by Jonathan Merki on September 28th, 2024
Thank You, Father, that You choose and use ordinary people. You chose a shepherd/farmer named Amos to be Your prophet to Israel and Judah. You chose fishermen to be Your first disciples. You choose us to be the ones to share Your Great Good News. Please empower us to live like Jesus and embolden us to share the Good News.

May love be the rich soil where their lives take root. May it be the bedrock where their lives are founded so that together with all of Your people they will have the power to understand that the love of the A... Read More

Day 270: Hosea 11-14; Joel 1; Psalm 99
by Jonathan Merki on September 26th, 2024
Lord, our God, it almost seems as though You can't help Yourself in loving Your wayward children (Hosea 11:8). You are Love. It is Who You Are. Help us never to take that for granted. For though You love and You are merciful, You are also holy and righteous and pure (Psalm 99:5,9). Help us be discerning and wise, walking in Your ways that are right[eous], for there we will live in Your love and en... Read More
