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:

https://davidkitz.blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/ps-391-5-mixfinal.mp3

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)

Pray for enduring peace in Israel and Gaza,
and continue to pray for peace to return to Ukraine and Russia!

Volume I of Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer won the Best Book of the Year Award from The Word Guild and Volume II has won the Best Devotional of the Year Award. For those who love God’s word, this three-book series is an ideal way to daily meet with the Lord. To purchase or for a closer look click here.

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.

Reading: Psalm 25:8-15

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

https://davidkitz.blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/psalm-258-15-mix2final.mp3

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)*

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.

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)*

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

https://davidkitz.blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ps-3817-22-mix1final.mp3

LORD God,
grant me the gift of repentance.
I am thankful Jesus died on the cross
to wash me clean.
Hallelujah!
I want to pursue you, Lord.
You are my help and my righteousness.
My salvation comes from you.
Amen.

Prince and Savior

The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead—
whom you killed by hanging him on a cross.
 
God exalted him to his own right hand
as Prince and Savior
that he might bring Israel to repentance
and forgive their sins.
 
We are witnesses of these things,
and so is the Holy Spirit,
whom God has given to those who obey him.”

For I am about to fall,

I confess my iniquity;
    I am troubled by my sin.
Many have become my enemies without cause;
    those who hate me without reason are numerous.
Those who repay my good with evil
    lodge accusations against me,
    though I seek only to do what is good.
LORD, do not forsake me;
    do not be far from me, my God.
Come quickly to help me,
    my Lord and my Savior.

Children of God

 See what great love
the Father has lavished on us,
that we should be called children of God!
And that is what we are!
The reason the world does not know us
is that it did not know him.
 
Dear friends,
now we are children of God,
and what we will be
has not yet been made known.
But we know that when Christ appears,
we shall be like him,
for we shall see him as he is.
 
All who have this hope in him purify themselves,
just as he is pure.

Reading: Psalm 38:9-16

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

https://davidkitz.blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ps-389-16-mix4final.mp3

All my longings lie open before you, LORD;
    my sighing is not hidden from you.
My heart pounds, my strength fails me;
    even the light has gone from my eyes.
My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;
    my neighbors stay far away.
Those who want to kill me set their traps,
    those who would harm me talk of my ruin;
    all day long they scheme and lie.
I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,
    like the mute, who cannot speak;
I have become like one who does not hear,
    whose mouth can offer no reply.
LORD, I wait for you; you will answer, LORD my God.
For I said, “Do not let them gloat
    or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”
(NIV)*

Three That Testify

This is the one who came by water and blood—
Jesus Christ.
He did not come by water only,
but by water and blood.
And it is the Spirit who testifies,
because the Spirit is the truth.
 
For there are three that testify:
 
the Spirit, the water and the blood;
and the three are in agreement.
 
We accept human testimony,
but God’s testimony is greater
because it is the testimony of God,
which he has given about his Son.

The Gift of God

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.
