Day 198: Proverbs 16-19; Psalm 27
by Jonathan Merki on July 16th, 2024
O Lord, let wisdom be the hallmark of our homes. Give us homes where parents love You and love each other; where there is respect for differences and celebration of what is common; where honor is given to all and humility guides our living and learning; where laughter is heard coming from a wonderful familiarity and a refusal to take ourselves too seriously; where discipline is positive and forgiv...

Day 197: Proverbs 12-15; Psalm 26
by Jonathan Merki on July 15th, 2024
Here in Your Word we find the foundation for living. As we read the Proverbs, how practical can it get? Yet, wisdom seems to have fallen by the wayside and sometimes even Your children seem to engage folly. Today, help us simply to live what we know from Your Word. To do what we know we should and to avoid what we know does not please You. To act in love even while we speak the truth. To tell the ... Read More

Day 193: Psalms 135-142
by Jonathan Merki on July 11th, 2024
Today, LORD, we pray with the psalmist: "Set a guard over our mouths and keep watch over the doors of our lips" (Psalm 141:3). It is way too easy for these mouths of ours to speak Your praises in our quiet times and leave to encounter those for whom our words are not close to praise. Help us build a culture of honor by speaking the truth in love. May we never speak what is hearsay, and if we know ... Read More
