Reading: Psalm 119:137-144

LORD God,
your word and your promises
stand true for all eternity.
Help me to believe and live each day
through the wise application of your word.
Give me understanding
that I may live (Psalm 119:144).
Amen.

“Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.

“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’

“In tithes and offerings.
You are under a curse—
your whole nation—
because you are robbing me.
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse,
that there may be food in my house.
Test me in this,”
says the LORD Almighty,
“and see if I will not throw open
the floodgates of heaven
and pour out so much blessing
that there will not be room enough to store it.
I will prevent pests from devouring your crops,
and the vines in your fields
will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,”
says the LORD Almighty.
“Then all the nations will call you blessed,
for yours will be a delightful land,”
says the LORD Almighty.
(Malachi 3:8-12 NIV)*

Father God,
there are battles you want me to fight.

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

Reading: Psalm 81:10-16

LORD God,
today I choose to follow you.
I want to be on your side,
rooting for the right team,
and reflecting the compassion of Jesus.
I trust the promises in your word.
You bring me victory,
provision, and enduring joy. 
Amen.

— — —

“Now fear the LORD
and serve him with all faithfulness.
Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped
beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt,
and serve the LORD. 
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you,
then choose for yourselves this day
whom you will serve,
whether the gods your ancestors served
beyond the Euphrates,
or the gods of the Amorites,
in whose land you are living.
But as for me and my household,
we will serve the LORD.”
(Joshua 24:14-15)*

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
by David Kitz.Psalm 74_1-8 -365

Reading: Psalm 74:1-8

LORD God,
help us to become agents of change in our land.
We want people throughout this country
to turn to you in repentance and faith.
Open their eyes to their need
and your reality. 
Amen.

— — —

“Now I am about to go the way of all the earth.
You know with all your heart and soul
that not one of all the good promises
the LORD your God gave you has failed.
Every promise has been fulfilled;
not one has failed.
But just as all the good things
the LORD your God has promised you
have come to you,
so he will bring on you
all the evil things he has threatened,
until the LORD your God has destroyed you
from this good land he has given you.
If you violate the covenant of the LORD your God,
which he commanded you,
and go and serve other gods
and bow down to them,
the LORD’s anger will burn against you,
and you will quickly perish from the good land
he has given you.”
(Joshua 23:14-16)*

When Did God Touch You?

Reading: Psalm 119:73-80
י Yodh
Your hands made me and formed me;
give me understanding to learn your commands.
May those who fear you rejoice when they see me,
for I have put my hope in your word.
I know, LORD, that your laws are righteous,
and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
May your unfailing love be my comfort,
according to your promise to your servant.
Let your compassion come to me that I may live,
for your law is my delight.
 May the arrogant be put to shame for wronging me without cause;
but I will meditate on your precepts.
May those who fear you turn to me,
those who understand your statutes.
May I wholeheartedly follow your decrees,
that I may not be put to shame (NIV). *

Reflection
You have been touched by God. Pause. Consider that for a moment.

When did God touch you? According to the psalmist it happened at the very beginning of your life. Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.

Implied in that statement is God’s personal care—His attention to detail. You are not an accident or an afterthought in the mind of God. He formed you with a plan and a purpose. According to the apostle Paul, a large part of that purpose is that you may know Him, and be conformed to the image of His dear Son.  And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters (Romans 8:28-29).

When we face difficulties, hardship and suffering has God abandoned us? The answer is a resounding no. Consider the psalmist’s response to these things: I know, LORD, that your laws are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me. May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant.

Every adversity you face should bring you nearer to God. See it as an opportunity to learn, grow and be changed into someone who is more like Jesus. He did not run from adversity, but instead faced suffering and death head on. God the Father brought Jesus safely to the other side, and it’s His purpose to bring you through to glory too.

Response: Father God, I want to be like Jesus. Thank you for touching my life and forming me with your hands. I am yours—yours by creation—yours by redemption. I will meditate on your precepts. Amen.

Your Turn: Have you questioned God’s love for you? Are you living out His plan?
