Day 170: Job 19-23; Psalm 20
by Jonathan Merki on June 18th, 2024
Oh, that my words were recorded, that they were written on a scroll,that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead, or engraved in rock forever!I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God;I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within m... Read More

Day 166: Esther 9-10; Job 1-2; Psalm 16
by Jonathan Merki on June 14th, 2024
Like Mordecai, O Lord, may I not be so enthralled with fame, or power, or wealth that is worldly (Esther 10:2-3) that I do not embrace Your mission and way as my privilege and priority (Ezra 2:2; Nehemiah 7:7). Like Job, O Lord, may my sole focus be a life that pleases You, then no matter my circumstances, Your praise and worship shall be my life (Job 1:20-22). Indeed, You are my portion and my cu...

Haman hates Mordecai and decrees genocide for Mordecai's people, God's people. Mordecai still refuses to bow to Haman, so Haman plots his early demise.
