by Jonathan Merki on March 31st, 2024
O Lord Jesus, Risen Savior, today we worship You! Thank You for the cross! Thank You for the empty tomb! Thank You for showing us Your glory and for sharing that glory with us!

Day 90: Ruth 2-4; Psalm 90
by Jonathan Merki on March 30th, 2024
O Father,May we learn the singular focus of Ruth. Help us embrace You, the One True God. And, embracing You, may we be unwavering in our path of life. Where You lead is where we go. What You say is what we do. Our one goal in life is to be wholly Yours, and so we follow You. Like Ruth and like Moses, help us realize that life is truly brief, so may we spend our lives learning to live wisely. Yes, ...  Read More

Day 89: Judges 20-21; Ruth 1; Psalm 89
by Jonathan Merki on March 29th, 2024
O, the darkness of the day that dawned that first Good Friday, for evil was at it's most ambitious and desperate in its attempt to derail and destroy Your salvation plan. How deep the depravity of humanity given over to the heart of evil. Yet, You looked the worst kind of evil (if there is a degree of such) in the eye and declared: "No matter what you fling at me, how hard you beat my body, nailin...  Read More

Day 88: Judges 19; Psalm 88
by Jonathan Merki on March 28th, 2024
Father,I am struck by the last line of the Psalmist in 88: "...darkness is my closest friend" (v.18, NIV). This is heightened by my study for tonight, Holy Thursday, of John 13 and 'The Last Supper' where Judas left to carry out his unthinkable plan and John records: "And it was night." (John 13:30b). Darkness is a place to hide, to escape, to engage in unseen activity which is all too often unhea...  Read More

Day 87: Judges 16-18; Psalm 87
by Jonathan Merki on March 27th, 2024
Today, Lord God, we are reminded as we journey toward the cross, why the cross is necessary. Fickle humanity. Sinful humanity. So desperately in need of a Savior, we look for a god we can hold onto, see, define, and control and then we wonder when our every want is not met and life does not go our way what is wrong with our god. We see this as we read the pages of Judges and we see this as we scro...  Read More
