Bible, Jesus, living water, Prayer, Psalms, Righteousness, Savior, Scripture, the LORD, thirsty

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

Today’s Reading: Psalm 143:1-6

LORD God,
I need your righteousness.
My own righteousness is tainted with pride.
I freely acknowledge my need for a Savior.
Jesus,
You are my constant help.
I thirst for you like a parched land.
Amen.

— — — —

On the last and greatest day of the festival,
Jesus stood
and said in a loud voice,
“Let anyone who is thirsty
come to me and drink.

Whoever believes in me,
as Scripture has said,
rivers of living water will flow
from within them.”

(John 7:37-38 NIV)*

Today’s Reading: Psalm 142:5-7

Sovereign LORD,
set me free from the negative habits
and thought patterns that imprison me.
Help me identify them one by one,
and then help me gain
the victory over them
in the power of Jesus.
Amen.

Rejoice in the Lord always.
I will say it again:
Rejoice!

Let your gentleness be evident to all.
The Lord is near.

Do not be anxious about anything,
but in every situation,

with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.

And the peace of God,
which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus.

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

Today’s Reading: Psalm 142:1-4

LORD God,
when I reach a low point,
you are there.
Hear me when I am down.
I bring my troubles and sorrows to you.
They are more than I can bear.
Jesus,
please be my burden bearer.
Amen.

 In the same way,
you who are younger,
submit yourselves to your elders.
All of you,
clothe yourselves with humility toward one another,
because,

“God opposes the proud
    but shows favor to the humble.”

Humble yourselves,
therefore,
under God’s mighty hand,
that he may lift you up in due time.

Cast all your anxiety on him
because he cares for you.

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

Today’s Reading: Psalm 141:6-10

Sovereign LORD,
I commit my thoughts and ways to you.
Guide me in the way of holiness
for your name’s sake.
I fix my eyes on you, Jesus,
baby in a manger,
suffering Savior,
my risen Lord,
and soon coming King.
Amen.

Be alert and of sober mind. 
Your enemy the devil prowls around 
like a roaring lion looking
for someone to devour.

Resist him, 
standing firm in the faith, 
because you know that the family of believers
throughout the world is undergoing
the same kind of sufferings.

And the God of all grace,
who called you to his eternal glory in Christ,
after you have suffered a little while, 
will himself restore you
and make you strong, 
firm and steadfast.

To him be the power
for ever and ever.
Amen.

Fixing our eyes on God in trials

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Reading: Psalm 141:6-10
Their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs,
and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.
They will say, “As one plows and breaks up the earth,
so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave.”
But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign LORD;
in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death.
Keep me safe from the traps set by evildoers,
from the snares they have laid for me.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
while I pass by in safety (NIV). *

Reflection
King David lived in treacherous times, and the opening lines from today’s reading reflect that reality. In fact, in its entirety Psalm 141 is a prayer for protection and personal safety. David had enemies who were eager to see his demise.

On a personal level the same is true for every redeemed believer. The apostle Peter provides us with this reminder: Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). Our very survival depends on heeding Peter’s advice.

David pleads for safety from the traps and snares that have been set for him. This brings to mind the word circumspect. As we move forward in life, we should be alert and circumspect. Circumspect is actually a compound Latin word. The circum portion of the word means around, or literally in a circle. The spect portion of the word means to look or see; this is the root for words such as spectacle or inspect. The circumspect person is looking around, so he does not step into the snares of the enemy.

But if we are truly circumspect, we don’t only look down for snares and traps. It is essential that we also look up. David expresses this thought with these words. But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death (v. 8).

The writer of Hebrews urges us on in our faith with these words: Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart (Hebrews 12:1-3).

During this season, when we reflect on Christ’s coming, we need eyes that are fixed on him. He knows where the snares are, and he is well able to deliver us from the jaws of the enemy.

Response: Sovereign LORD, I commit my thoughts and ways to you. Guide me in the way of holiness for your name’s sake. I fix my eyes on you, Jesus, baby in a manger, suffering Savior, my risen Lord, and coming King. Amen.

Your Turn: How alert are you to the devil’s tactics? What do you do to fix your eyes on Jesus?

Introduction to “The Elisha Code”

Discovering Jesus Blueprint for Renewal

By
David Kitz & Dr. Ed Hird

Is there a hidden code to the Bible? Is there some secret interpretation—hidden in plain sight—that we have been missing for generations? If so, what is it, and what are the implications for Christians today?

The book you are holding cracks the code—the code Jesus revealed to his disciples. Furthermore, it signals the pattern for the coming global revival—revivals that may well be marked by miraculous signs and wonders on an unprecedented scale.

We live in dark times—times of fear, pestilence, national and international intrigue, and political turmoil. Many are in despair. But into this darkness, the prophet Isaiah speaks:

         “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, 
           By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,
           Galilee of the Gentiles:
           The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light,
           And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death
           Light has dawned” (Matthew 4:15-16, NKJV).

At the darkest time, in the darkest region, Jesus appeared on the scene. There he began his ministry. In these dark and divided times, as the truth of the Elisha Code is brought to light, we too will see Jesus revealing his grace and power among us.

Throughout the centuries-long history of the church, biblical truths have been lost—lost through sin, unbelief, and neglect—later to be rediscovered by thirsty souls searching for transformative change in dark times. Martin Luther triggered the reformation with his rediscovery of the truth of salvation by faith through grace. The truth of sanctification triggered the Great Awakening and the Methodist renewal with revival-fire starters such as the Wesley brothers, George Whitefield, and John Newton. The twentieth century began with a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit as the truths of Pentecost were brought to the fore through the globe-spanning Welsh revival and the Azusa Street outpouring.

When biblical truth is restored, revival often follows. A harvest of souls is swept into the Kingdom of God, as surely as the morning dawns on a new day.

Let’s return to his Holy Word and uncover the foundation Jesus has already laid. Let’s return to truths we have overlooked for far too long. Jesus is the Master Builder of the church. By studying his earthly ministry, we can discover the blueprint he was following to launch and establish the church of the first century. It is a blueprint that is patterned after the prophetic Old Testament ministries of Elijah and Elisha.

Within this volume, there are chapters that explore this neglected connection to these two prophets of the old covenant. Often, these chapters are then followed by biographical snapshots of individuals in church history who have tapped into key truths. These principles have catapulted the gospel message forward to powerfully impact the world of their time.

To fulfill its divine mission, the church of the twenty-first century does not need to discover new and different truths for this current age. It needs to return to, and rediscover lived truths taught by Jesus and the apostles of the first century church and put into practise by leading men and women of God down through the ages.     

Together, let’s crack the Elisha Code and become participants in the next great end-times revival—a revival marked by a double portion of Christ’s miraculous anointing.

Let the quest begin!

The Elisha Code & the Coming Revival

Godly Sorrow Brings Repentance

Bible, correction, God, godly sorrow, grace, innocent, Jesus, Prayer, Psalms, repentance, sorrow over sin, the LORD

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

Today’s Reading: Psalm 141:5

LORD God,
please correct me when I err.
When others point out my faults,
help me to receive that correction
with grace and not anger.
Lord Jesus,
you alone are faultless.
Forgive me.
Amen.

— — — —
 
Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter,
I do not regret it.
Though I did regret it—
I see that my letter hurt you,
but only for a little while—

yet now I am happy,
not because you were made sorry,
but because your sorrow led you to repentance.
For you became sorrowful as God intended
and so were not harmed in any way by us.

Godly sorrow brings repentance
that leads to salvation and leaves no regret,
but worldly sorrow brings death.

See what this godly sorrow has produced in you:
what earnestness,
what eagerness to clear yourselves,
what indignation, what alarm,
what longing, what concern,
what readiness to see justice done.
At every point you have proved yourselves
to be innocent in this matter.
(2 Corinthians 7:8-11 NIV)*

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

Today’s Reading: Psalm 141:1-4

Sovereign LORD,
I want my prayers to be
like sweet incense to you.
Help me to pray according to your will.
That means listening for your voice
before I blurt out my requests.
Guide my thoughts.
Speak to me
and through me
as I pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

— — — —
 
He went and took the scroll
from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
 
And when he had taken it,
the four living creatures
and the twenty-four elders fell down
before the Lamb.
Each one had a harp
and they were holding golden bowls full of incense,
which are the prayers of God’s people.
 
And they sang a new song, saying:

“You are worthy to take the scroll
    and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
    and with your blood you purchased for God
    persons from every tribe and language
and people and nation.

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

Today’s Reading: Psalm 140:6-8

Sovereign LORD,
my strong deliverer,
you shield my head in the day of battle.
Do not grant the wicked their desires, LORD;
do not let their plans succeed
(Psalm 140:7-8).
I put on the helmet of salvation.
I commit my thoughts and ways to you.
Amen.

— — — —
 
All of us also lived among them at one time, 
gratifying the cravings of our flesh
 and following its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest,
we were by nature deserving of wrath.
 
But because of his great love for us, 
God, who is rich in mercy,
 
made us alive with Christ
even when we were dead in transgressions—
it is by grace you have been saved.
 
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.
(Ephesians 2:10-17 NIV)*
