Today’s

Reading: Psalm 42:1-5

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
I thank you for Jesus.
I am thankful you are the true water of life
and when we drink of your Spirit,
springs of water flow from us
to you and to others.
Hallelujah!
Amen.

     — — — —


Jesus Washes His Disciples Feet 

 Jesus knew that the Father
had put all things under his power,
and that he had come from God
and was returning to God; 
so he got up from the meal,
took off his outer clothing,
and wrapped a towel around his waist. 
After that,
he poured water into a basin
and began to wash his disciples’ feet,
drying them with the towel
that was wrapped around him.

He came to Simon Peter,
who said to him,
“Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

Jesus replied,
“You do not realize now what I am doing,
but later you will understand.”

“No,” said Peter,
“you shall never wash my feet.”

Jesus answered,
“Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied,
“not just my feet
but my hands and my head as well!”

Jesus answered,
“Those who have had a bath
need only to wash their feet;
their whole body is clean.
And you are clean,
though not every one of you.” 
For he knew who was going to betray him,
and that was why he said not every one was clean.
(John 13:3-11).

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


Today’s Reading: Psalm 41:7-13

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
I thank you for Jesus.
He faced the cross
and overcame all temptations.
Through Jesus,
and with his help,
I can overcome all things,
even betrayal.
Amen.

     — — — —


Jesus Predicts His Betrayal 

“I am not referring to all of you;
I know those I have chosen.
But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture:
‘He who shared my bread
has turned against me.’
I am telling you now before it happens,
so that when it does happen
you will believe that I am who I am.
Very truly I tell you,
whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me;
and whoever accepts me
accepts the one who sent me.”

After he had said this,
Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified,
“Very truly I tell you,
one of you is going to betray me”
(John 13:18-21).*


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

 forgive me
when I have looked down on others in need.

Jesus Shows Compassion 

Jesus went through all the towns and villages,
teaching in their synagogues,
proclaiming the good news of the kingdom
and healing every disease and sickness. 
When he saw the crowds,
he had compassion on them,
because they were harassed and helpless,
like sheep without a shepherd. 
Then he said to his disciples,
“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.”
(Matthew 9:35-37 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.

I became a servant of this gospel
by the gift of God’s grace
given me through the working of his power.
Although
I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people,
this grace was given me:
to preach to the Gentiles
the boundless riches of Christ, 
and to make plain to everyone
the administration of this mystery,
which for ages past was kept hidden in God,
who created all things.

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Reading: Psalm 40:11-17 

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

Do not withhold your mercy from me, LORD;
    may your love and faithfulness always protect me.
For troubles without number surround me;
    my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.
They are more than the hairs of my head,
    and my heart fails within me.
Be pleased to save me, LORD;
    come quickly, LORD, to help me.
May all who want to take my life
    be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”
    be appalled at their own shame.
 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
 “The LORD is great!”
 But as for me, I am poor and needy; may the LORD think of me.
You are my help and my deliverer; you are my God, do not delay.
(NIV)*

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

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.

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

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.

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)*

Psalm 40_11-17 -365

Reading: Psalm 40:11-17

LORD God,
Thank you for your gifts of grace
and favor over the years.
I need you as I face the days ahead.
Equip me with divine grace and ability
for each day through the love and power of Jesus.
Amen.

— — —

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him
in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
in order that in the coming ages
he might show the incomparable riches of his grace,
expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith—
and this is not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God—
not by works,
so that no one can boast.
For we are God’s handiwork,
created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.
