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


Today’s Reading: Psalm 49:13-20

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:
https://davidkitz.blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/ps-4913-end-mix2final1.mp3

LORD God,
I thank you that Jesus,
my Redeemer, lives!
I put my trust in you,
now and for eternity.
I rest in the hope that a new day will dawn
when the dead in Christ will rise.
Amen.

Lent Reading:
Peter’s Denial

Meanwhile,
Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself.
So they asked him,
“You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?”

“He denied it, saying, “I am not.”

One of the high priest’s servants,
a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off,
challenged him,
“Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”
 
Again Peter denied it,
and at that moment a rooster began to crow.
(John 18:25-27).

* * *

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)

The High Priest Questions Jesus

Meanwhile,
the high priest questioned Jesus
about his disciples and his teaching.

“I have spoken openly to the world,”
Jesus replied.
“I always taught in synagogues
or at the temple,
where all the Jews come together.
I said nothing in secret.

Why question me?
Ask those who heard me.
Surely they know what I said.”

When Jesus said this,
one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face.
“Is this the way you answer the high priest?”
he demanded.

“If I said something wrong,”
Jesus replied,
“testify as to what is wrong.
But if I spoke the truth,
why did you strike me?”

Then Annas sent him bound
to Caiaphas the high priest.

(John 18:19-24).

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A Psalm.

Clap your hands, all you nations;
    shout to God with cries of joy.

For the LORD Most High is awesome,
    the great King over all the earth.
He subdued nations under us,
    peoples under our feet.
He chose our inheritance for us,
    the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.

God has ascended amid shouts of joy,
    the LORD amid the sounding of trumpets.
Sing praises to God, sing praises;
    sing praises to our King, sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth;
    sing to him a psalm of praise.

    God reigns over the nations;
    God is seated on his holy throne.
The nobles of the nations assemble
    as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings of the earth belong to God;
    he is greatly exalted.

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah.
According to alamoth. A song.

God is our refuge and strength,
    an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way

    and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam

    and the mountains quake with their surging.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the most high dwells. 

God is within her, she will not fall;
    God will help her at break of day.
Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;

    he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Reading: Psalm 48:9-14

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:
https://davidkitz.blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/ps-489-14-mix1final.mp3

Within your temple, O God,
    we meditate on your unfailing love.
Like your name, O God,
    your praise reaches to the ends of the earth;
    your right hand is filled with righteousness.
Mount Zion rejoices,
    the villages of Judah are glad
    because of your judgments.
Walk about Zion, go around her,
    count her towers,
consider well her ramparts,
    view her citadels,
that you may tell of them
    to the next generation.
For this God is our God for ever and ever;
    he will be our guide even to the end.
(NIV)*

Reflection
Have you watched a television newscast recently? Invariably at some point during that telecast you will see a cityscape—a grand view of the city skyline in all its glory. If experts from Montreal, Vancouver or Chicago are being interviewed, they will appear against the backdrop of a large photo of their city. Routinely, sports telecasts feature brief live shots of the arena and the host city’s downtown.  

Why do broadcasters go to the trouble of filming these cityscapes and providing these skyline backdrops? A good part of the answer is identification. We identify a city by its skyline and by its landmark buildings and towers. Washington, D.C. is intimately linked to pictures of the Capitol, Paris with the Eifel Tower, and Toronto with the CN Tower. When the twin towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed, New York mourned not only the loss of lives, but also the loss of an element of its identity—the twin icons of its identity.

Psalm 48 is the Bible’s version of a cityscape telecast. Read the psalmist’s call: Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers, consider well her ramparts, view her citadels that you may tell of them to the next generation (vs. 12-13).

What is the psalmist asking us to do? He is asking us to identify with the city of God. What makes Zion unique in the earth is the presence of God within her. The psalmist clearly stated, “God is in her citadels.” Is God within you? Is He reigning in your heart and mind? Is He the master of your affections? Have you had landmark experiences with God that changed the course of your life? Have you climbed towers of prayer? Have you stood guard on the ramparts of your mind? Then with conviction you can say with the psalmist, “For this God is our God forever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end” (v. 14).

Response
LORD God, reign in me. Establish your capital in my heart. Govern my ways, now and forever more. I commit my thoughts and intellect to your service. Stir my heart and my affections. Amen.

Your Turn
Has Jesus come to rule your heart? Is the Lord enthroned there? What steps can you take to establish the Lord as the ruler of your mind?

Lent Reading:
Jesus Arrested

Then Simon Peter,
who had a sword,
drew it and struck the high priest’s servant,
cutting off his right ear.
(The servant’s name was Malchus.)

Jesus commanded Peter,
“Put your sword away!
Shall I not drink the cup
the Father has given me?”

Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander
and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus.
They bound him
 
and brought him first to Annas,
who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,
the high priest that year.
 
Caiaphas was the one
who had advised the Jewish leaders
that it would be good if one man died for the people.
(John 18:10-14).

Judas Comes to the Garden

When he had finished praying,
Jesus left with his disciples
and crossed the Kidron Valley.
On the other side there was a garden,
and he and his disciples went into it.

Now Judas, who betrayed him,
knew the place,
because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.

So Judas came to the garden,
guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials
from the chief priests and the Pharisees.
They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.

(John 18:1-3).

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil.

We have heard it with our ears, O God;
    our ancestors have told us
what you did in their days,
    in days long ago.
With your hand you drove out the nations
    and planted our ancestors;
you crushed the peoples
    and made our ancestors flourish.
It was not by their sword that they won the land,
    nor did their arm bring them victory;
it was your right hand, your arm,
    and the light of your face, for you loved them.
You are my King and my God,
    who decrees victories for Jacob.
Through you we push back our enemies;
    through your name we trample our foes.
I put no trust in my bow,
    my sword does not bring me victory;
but you give us victory over our enemies,
    you put our adversaries to shame.
In God we make our boast all day long,
    and we will praise your name forever.
(NIV)

James—the brother of Jesus—who was this man? What evidence do we have that this “brother of our Lord” even existed?

David Kitz digs deep into archeology, family dynamics, church history, and the biblical texts. What emerges from his research is a portrait of a decisive, pivotal leader who embodied the will and character of Jesus Christ.

But how did James—James the unbeliever—transform to become a leader who changed the course of world history? In these pages you will uncover the answer and rediscover for yourself the life-changing power of the gospel.
