Day 212: Isaiah 28-30; Psalm 41
by Jonathan Merki on July 30th, 2024
And now, O Lord, the day is done. Yet once more You have brought us through the day. You have met our needs, guided our steps, given us grace-filled encounters and reminded us in our challenges that You were there. As through the day, now we ask that Your presence will keep us in our rest. May it bring us refreshment and by Your grace, may we awaken to a new day filled with the possibility of serv... Read More

Day 211: Isaiah 24-27; Psalm 40
by Jonathan Merki on July 29th, 2024
O God, Your are our Help from ages past, for You have lifted us up from the pit of our own creation, of our sin and shame. You have set our feet on the Solid Rock, Who is Jesus, the Rock of our salvation. You have heard our cries and answered our prayers. Not only that, You are our Hope for years to come, for one day You will indeed swallow up death (in reality You have through Jesus' resurrection... Read More

Day 210: Isaiah 19-23; Psalm 39
by Jonathan Merki on July 28th, 2024
The hope of redemption is great for that hope is placed in God alone. If Egypt can be redeemed and Assyria join the worship (Isaiah 19:23-25), then, indeed, there is hope for the wayward and the oppressor. So let us join the prayer for the lost to be found and the enemy to become family. Let us celebrate God's inheritance in Israel and rejoice that He has grafted us into His family. Our hope is in...

by Jonathan Merki on July 26th, 2024

Day 207: Isaiah 6-9; Psalm 36
by Jonathan Merki on July 25th, 2024
O Lord our God, these are days in which we cannot live by the status quo or waffle with the winds of every whim and fancy in our world. As someone has said, "If we do not stand for something, we will fall for anything." As You said through Isaiah, Your prophet: "If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all." (Isaiah 7:9b, NIV). We cannot afford to be fence-sitters. May we be b... Read More
