Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer


Today’s Reading: Psalm 40:6-10

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
 help me to truly hear
and obey your voice.
Lord Jesus,
I want to be your disciple.
Thank you for your great sacrifice
by which you purchased my redemption.
Amen.

     — — — —


Not My Will

Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives,
and his disciples followed him.
On reaching the place,
he said to them,
“Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”
He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them,
knelt down and prayed,
“Father,
if you are willing,
take this cup from me;
yet not my will,
but yours be done.”.
(Luke 22:39-42 NIV)*


This is love:
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son
as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
(1 John 4:10 NIV)

Ideal for the Season of Lent


Watch the triumphal entry of the donkey-riding king through the eyes of Marcus Longinus, the centurion charged with keeping the streets from erupting into open rebellion.

Look behind the scenes at the political plotting of King Herod, known as the scheming Fox for his ruthless shrewdness.

Get a front-row seat to the confrontation between the Jewish high priest Caiaphas and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.

Understand as never before the horror of the decision to save a brutal terrorist in order to condemn the peaceful Jew to death.

If you’ve heard the story of Passion Week so often it’s become stale, now is the time to rediscover the terrible events leading from Jesus’s humble ride into the city to his crucifixion. The Soldier Who Killed a King will stun you afresh with how completely Christ’s resurrection changed history, one life at a time.

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Reading: Psalm 40:6-10

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—
    but my ears you have opened—
    burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—
    it is written about me in the scroll.
I desire to do your will, my God;
    your law is within my heart.”
 I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly;
    I do not seal my lips, LORD, as you know.
I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;
    I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help.
I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness
    from the great assembly.
(NIV)*

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer


Today’s Reading: Psalm 40:1-5

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
I thank you for Jesus.
I am thankful
I can put my complete trust in you.
I am rescued by your amazing grace
not by my effort.
When I fall,

Hallelujah!
Amen.

Live a Life Worthy of the Lord

We continually ask God
to fill you with the knowledge of his will
through all the wisdom and understanding
that the Spirit gives,
so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord
and please him in every way:
bearing fruit in every good work,
growing in the knowledge of God,
being strengthened with all power
according to his glorious might
so that you may have great endurance
and patience,
and giving joyful thanks to the Father,
who has qualified you to share in the inheritance
of his holy people in the kingdom of light.
For he has rescued us
from the dominion of darkness
and brought us into the kingdom
of the Son he loves,
in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins.
(Psalm 90:10-12 NIV)*


This is love:
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son
as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
(1 John 4:10 NIV)

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Reading: Psalm 40:1-5

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

I waited patiently for the LORD;
    he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
    a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the LORD
    and put their trust in him.
Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD,
who does not look to the proud,
    to those who turn aside to false gods.
Many, LORD my God, are the wonders you have done,
    the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
    were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
    they would be too many to declare.
(NIV)*

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer


Today’s Reading: Psalm 39:6-13

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
I need your saving help.
Through the redemptive blood of Jesus
keep me from being trapped
and controlled by my transgressions.
I need your presence in my life
so I can make the most of my days.
May your Kingdom rule extend to me
and through me to others.
Amen.

Seventy or Eighty Years

Our days may come to seventy years,
    or eighty, if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,
    for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
If only we knew the power of your anger!
    Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.
Teach us to number our days,
    that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
(Psalm 90:10-12 NIV)*


This is love:
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son
as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Reading: Psalm 39:6-13

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

“Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom;
    in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth
    without knowing whose it will finally be.
“But now, LORD, what do I look for?
    My hope is in you.
Save me from all my transgressions;
    do not make me the scorn of fools.
I was silent; I would not open my mouth,
    for you are the one who has done this.
Remove your scourge from me;
    I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
When you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin,
    you consume their wealth like a moth—surely everyone is but a breath.
“Hear my prayer, LORD, listen to my cry for help;
    do not be deaf to my weeping.
I dwell with you as a foreigner, a stranger, as all my ancestors were.
Look away from me, that I may enjoy life again
    before I depart and am no more”
(NIV)*

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer


Today’s Reading: Psalm 39:1-5

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
show me your ways.
Show me how much I need you
day by day.
Help me to value every day you give me
on this earth.
Shine your light in me
and through me
by the power of Jesus.
Amen.

     — — — —


The Verdict

 This is the verdict:
Light has come into the world,
but people loved darkness instead of light
because their deeds were evil. 
Everyone who does evil hates the light,
and will not come into the light
for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 
But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light,
so that it may be seen plainly
that what they have done
has been done in the sight of God.
(John 3:19-21 NIV)*


Whoever does not love does not know God,
because God is love (1 John 4:8 NIV)

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Reading: Psalm 39:1-5

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

I said, “I will watch my ways
    and keep my tongue from sin;
I will put a muzzle on my mouth
    while in the presence of the wicked.”
So I remained utterly silent,
    not even saying anything good.
But my anguish increased;
my heart grew hot within me.
While I meditated, the fire burned;
    then I spoke with my tongue:
“Show me, LORD, my life’s end
    and the number of my days;
    let me know how fleeting my life is.
You have made my days a mere handbreadth;
    the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,
    even those who seem secure.
(NIV)*

I will praise the LORD!


Reading: Psalm 25:8-15

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

Good and upright is the LORD;
    therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
He guides the humble in what is right
    and teaches them his way.
All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
    toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.
For the sake of your name, LORD,
    forgive my iniquity, though it is great.
Who, then, are those who fear the LORD?
    He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.
They will spend their days in prosperity,
    and their descendants will inherit the land.
The LORD confides in those who fear him;
    he makes his covenant known to them.
My eyes are ever on the LORD,
    for only he will release my feet from the snare. (NIV)*

Reading: Psalm 25:1-7

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

Of David.

In you, LORD my God,
    I put my trust.
I trust in you;
    do not let me be put to shame,
    nor let my enemies triumph over me.
No one who hopes in you
    will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those
    who are treacherous without cause.
Show me your ways, LORD,
    teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
    for you are God my Savior,
    and my hope is in you all day long.
Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love,
    for they are from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth
    and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
    for you, LORD, are good. (NIV)*
