Day 224: Jeremiah 5-6; Psalm 54
by Jonathan Merki on August 11th, 2024
Another day, a gift from Your hand. Thank You! Thank You for Your watchful care keeping us through the night, for the rest that refreshed. Thank You for this time in quiet, alone with You. Thank You for the anticipation of Your gathering church...and Your gathering Church. Bless this day with Your tangible presence, Holy Spirit. May our grateful hearts be so wide open to You that we receive all Yo... Read More

Day 223: Jeremiah 2-4; Psalm 52
by Jonathan Merki on August 10th, 2024
Father, not only do You remember 'the devotion of our youth' (Jeremiah 2:2), but so do we. Those moments when we were so amazed by Your loving forgiveness, rejoicing over the removal of our sin and guilt, and the joy of Your presence as we devoured Your Word with appetites for knowledge of You and the Truth. We remember how we worshiped with abandon and freely gave of ourselves when asked to serve... Read More

Day 222: Isaiah 65 - Jeremiah 1; Psalm 51
by Jonathan Merki on August 9th, 2024
It's true, Lord, You have answered us before we call on You (Isaiah 65:24) and we have lived in the blessing of Your grace and mercy as we have been embraced by Your love. It is also true, Lord, that too often when You have called on us, we have been too distracted and self-absorbed to listen to and answer You (Isaiah 66:4). Have mercy on us, O Lord, and forgive us, according to Your unfailing lov... Read More

Day 221: Isaiah 61-64; Psalm 50
by Jonathan Merki on August 8th, 2024
God, send us intercessors, watchpersons on the wall of our day (Isaiah 62:6) who refuse to be silent, but call on You day and night. Prayers who humbly but boldly remind You of Your promises to Your children and Your word to answer prayer; prayers who courageously call out: "Oh, that You would rip open the heavens and come down! ( Isaiah 64:1) Forgive us! Revive us! Cleanse us! Empower us! Work in... Read More

Day 220: Isaiah 57-60; Psalm 49
by Jonathan Merki on August 7th, 2024
In Your Word we are reminded of Your sovereign rule. In Your world we are reminded of the same. With all the knowledge of science, with all the remembrance of history, with all the grappling with social concerns, humanity is an utter failure apart from You, from Your sovereign and gracious rule. This week we have witnessed the failure of depending on science to predict rain, we can see the employm... Read More

Day 219: Isaiah 52-56; Psalm 48
by Jonathan Merki on August 6th, 2024
Thank You, Our God and Father, for the invitation to come to You and freely have our thirst satisfied in You (Isaiah 55:1). This reminds us of Jesus' words that all who are weary should come to Him and find rest (Matthew 11:28-30), and His invitation to drink the Water of Life (John 4:14) and eat the Bread of Life (John 6:35) and be fully satisfied. Today we can testify that You have quenched our ... Read More
