Day 29: Exodus 30-32; Psalm 29
by Jonathan Merki on January 29th, 2024
Father,You are holy, holy, holy! Today I read that the pure in heart will see God and those who truly see God will long to become more pure in heart. I imagine Moses up on that mountain was seeing Your unveiled holiness, Your purity. On the other hand, the people below were focused on themselves. Their self-focus led to awful sin. A holy God cannot abide sin. But, holy love can forgive sin, and cl... Read More

Day 28: Exodus 29; Psalm 28
by Jonathan Merki on January 28th, 2024
Abba, Father,We are so deeply grateful that You do not require the daily sacrifice of lambs for our atonement, for the Lamb of God in His sacrifice for us has dealt with our sin once and for all. Amazing grace! Love beyond measure! How can we ever thank You enough? More than that, His death has made it possible for us to live in Your presence, to approach You with boldness and confidence. This is ... Read More

Day 27: Exodus 26-28; Psalm 27
by Jonathan Merki on January 27th, 2024
This just happens to be one of those days, Father.Today began very early and was ordered and scheduled for me. By the time I was free from the order, there were other pressing matters and time with friends and family that are important, that You understand. Truth be known, though I have not sat down until this moment to reflect on Your Word and the words of others...to spend time in focused, prese... Read More

by Jonathan Merki on January 26th, 2024
Dare I pray this prayer, my LORD?Test me. Try me. Examine my heart and mind (Psalm 26:2).

Day 25: Exodus 21-22; Psalm 25
by Jonathan Merki on January 25th, 2024
LORD,You are good and Your mercy endures forever. In Your goodness we depend, we have confidence that You will be Your character, for You are true to Who You are. You are Love! Your are Holy! You are Holy Love! You call us to walk in Your presence, to live in Your presence and be like You. That is a high and lofty calling, but You would never ask of us that which You do not enable us to be, to do.... Read More

Day 24: Exodus 17-20; Psalm 24
by Jonathan Merki on January 24th, 2024
Just yesterday, Lord, I had a conversation with someone who discovered that kids in a fenced in park feel safer...boundaries are necessary for life to be its best. That took me back to a study in which teens confessed that boundaries gave them confidence and made them feel loved and protected. Today I read about the boundaries You have set for us in Your Word (Exodus 20:1-17). We call them the Ten... Read More
