by Jonathan Merki on January 22nd, 2024
Father in Heaven, Immanuel,How far will You go to save Your people? Today our Scripture reading took us to Exodus 12 and Psalm 22. History records Your mighty acts...Your mighty arm and outstretched hand...in order to set Your people free. Passover is still the celebration of Your Chosen, by blood and by the blood of the Lamb. How the Psalmist could picture the Great Passover of our Savior one tho...  Read More

Day 21: Exodus 9-11; Psalm 21
by Jonathan Merki on January 21st, 2024
Lord Jesus,Today I read in Your word that You opened the minds of Your disciples so they could understand the Scripture (Luke 24:45). I almost find myself envious of them, and the two on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:27). The Truth unfolded the truth of Your Word. It was not different truth, but the same Law and Prophets seen as they were written to point to You. Everything about Your Word centers o...  Read More

"For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I am not guilty of turning from my God." (Psalm 18:21, NIV)O God, You have made me to be like Yourself. Your will for me shall be my will.

Day 17: Genesis 47-49; Psalm 17
by Jonathan Merki on January 17th, 2024
Holy and Loving God, our Father,You call us to be like You. That seems an impossibility. It is! Except, You call us to be holy and loving for that is Who You are (1 Peter 1:13-16). So, we must trust that You mean what You say. And, because You are loving and You are our Father, You make a way for us to become (and keep on becoming more) like You. You are the One Who cleanses our hearts as we surre...  Read More
