“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer


Today’s Reading: Psalm 50:16-23

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
let me never forget

I am thankful for the promise
of the presence
of your Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Post Resurrection Reading:
The Women’s Report

When they came back from the tomb,
they told all these things to the Eleven
and to all the others.
It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James,
and the others with them
who told this to the apostles.
But they did not believe the women,
because their words seemed to them like nonsense.
Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb.
Bending over,
he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves,
and he went away,
wondering to himself what had happened.
(Luke 24:9-12).

* * *

This is how we know what love is:
Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.
And we ought to lay down our lives
for our brothers and sisters.
(1 John 3:16 NIV)

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Reading: Psalm 50:16-23

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

But to the wicked person, God says:
“What right have you to recite my laws
    or take my covenant on your lips?
You hate my instruction
    and cast my words behind you.
When you see a thief, you join with him;
    you throw in your lot with adulterers.
You use your mouth for evil
    and harness your tongue to deceit.
You sit and testify against your brother
    and slander your own mother’s son.
When you did these things and I kept silent,
    you thought I was exactly like you.
But I now arraign you
    and set my accusations before you.“Consider this, you who forget God,
    or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:
Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me,
    and to the blameless I will show my salvation”
(NIV)*

Reflection
I tend to be forgetful. As I leave the house, it is not uncommon for me to forget some rather important items such as my wallet or my mobile phone. On our trip to Japan, my wife would often help me run through a checklist of essential items as we set out on an excursion. Wallet, rail pass, mobile phone, and passport, all were needed. I dare not forget any of these.

But there is something more important than all of these ‘essentials’. In his conclusion to Psalm 50, the psalmist Asaph reminds us not to forget God. How often have you set out on your day only to realize you forgot God at home? Did He even make it home with you? Maybe He’s still at church? Have you had God with you lately? Have you forgotten Him completely as you went about your business?

Forgetting God is no small matter. Here is the LORD’s response to those who forget Him: “Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you: Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me, and to the blameless I will show my salvation” (vs. 22-23).

We all want to see the salvation of God, but it starts with not forgetting Him. When we do, we run the risk of becoming objects of His wrath. The wrath of God is not a popular topic these days, but a lack of popularity does not negate its reality. When we choose to ignore God, there are unpleasant consequences. This applies personally and nationally. When we turn our back on the author of our salvation, terrible things happen. When we embrace Him with thanksgiving, joy will be our portion.

Response
LORD God, let me never forget your great love for me. I want to take you with me today and every day. I am thankful for the promise of your presence. Amen.

Your Turn
Do you sometimes forget God as you begin your day? Have you had God with you lately?

Morning sunrise — photo by David Kitz


Reading: Psalm 22:27-31

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

On the first day of the week,
very early in the morning,
the women took the spices they had prepared
and went to the tomb.
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
but when they entered,
they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
While they were wondering about this,
suddenly two men in clothes
that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.
In their fright
the women bowed down with their faces to the ground,
but the men said to them,
“Why do you look for the living among the dead?
He is not here;
he has risen!
Remember how he told you,
while he was still with you in Galilee:
‘The Son of Man must be delivered over
to the hands of sinners,
be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”
Then they remembered his words.
(Luke 24: 1-8, NIV)

Reading: Psalm 22:22-26

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

Later,
Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus.
Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus,
but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders.
With Pilate’s permission,
he came and took the body away. 
He was accompanied by Nicodemus,
the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night.
Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes,
about seventy-five pounds.
Taking Jesus’ body,
the two of them wrapped it, with the spices,
in strips of linen.
This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. 
At the place where Jesus was crucified,
there was a garden,
and in the garden a new tomb,
in which no one had ever been laid. 
Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation
and since the tomb was nearby,
they laid Jesus there.
(John 19: 38-42, NIV)

A Journey through the Psalms to Cross

This evening as this post goes live, I will be doing a live dramatization of fourteen Psalms before an  audience in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I have done this drama in biblical costume from time to time for about thirty years, but this is the first time I have done this “Psalms Alive!” presentation on Good Friday.

In many respects Good Friday is an ideal time to view this drama since it ends with a portrayal of Jesus’ death on the cross based on the words of Psalm 130.

I am struck by the prophetic links between the Psalms and the life of Jesus our Savior.

Lent Reading:
The Last Supper

For I received from the Lord
what I also passed on to you:
The Lord Jesus,
on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
and when he had given thanks,
he broke it and said,
“This is my body, which is for you;
do this in remembrance of me.”
In the same way,
after supper he took the cup, saying,
“This cup is the new covenant in my blood;
do this, whenever you drink it,
in remembrance of me.”
For whenever you eat this bread
and drink this cup,
you proclaim the Lord’s death
until he comes.
(1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

* * *

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

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Reading: Psalm 50:7-15

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

 “Listen, my people, and I will speak;
    I will testify against you, Israel:
    I am God, your God.
I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrifices
    or concerning your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.
I have no need of a bull from your stall
    or of goats from your pens,
for every animal of the forest is mine,
    and the cattle on a thousand hills.
I know every bird in the mountains,
    and the insects in the fields are mine.
If I were hungry I would not tell you,
    for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
 “Sacrifice thank offerings to God,
    fulfill your vows to the Most High,
and call on me in the day of trouble;
    I will deliver you, and you will honor me”.
(NIV)*

Reflection
What is humanity’s greatest sin? Think about that for a moment. Is it murder? Hatred? Racism? The desecration of the planet? All of these are serious problems—serious sins. But what is the greatest sin? 

Psalm 50 begins with a great summoning of all nations. The LORD is about to enter into judgment. But what charge does He bring against His people? He does not accuse them of heinous crimes, or the desecration of His temple. I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrifices or concerning your burnt offerings, which are ever before me (v. 8). Instead, God calls for thank offerings. The LORD wants His people to have thankful hearts.

There is something rather anticlimactic about this call for thanksgiving. My initial reaction is one of surprise. I thought we had a serious problem here. Why summon the nations to a great gathering unless there is a declaration of some significance. Surely a lack of thanksgiving is an offence of no great consequence. Or is it? Apparently in God’s view it is of great importance.

In his epistle to the Romans, St. Paul attributes a lack of thankfulness to the blinding power and deception of sin. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened (Romans 1:20-21).

Because of its long-term consequences, a failure to offer thanks may be the gravest sin of all.

Response
LORD God, I owe my life to you. Jesus, I have so much to be thankful for. Every day is a gift. Amen.

Your Turn
What are you most thankful for? Why do you think ingratitude has such dire consequences?

Jesus before Pilate


Lent Reading:
Jesus before Pilate

Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus
from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor.
By now it was early morning,
and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness
they did not enter the palace,
because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.
 So Pilate came out to them and asked,
“What charges are you bringing against this man?”

“If he were not a criminal,” they replied,
“we would not have handed him over to you.”

Pilate said,
“Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”

“But we have no right to execute anyone,”
they objected.
This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said
about the kind of death he was going to die.
(John 18:28-32).

A Great Summoning!

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Reading: Psalm 50:1-6

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

A psalm of Asaph.
The Mighty One, God, the LORD,
    speaks and summons the earth
    from the rising of the sun to where it sets.
From Zion, perfect in beauty,
    God shines forth.
Our God comes and will not be silent;
a fire devours before him,
    and around him a tempest rages.
He summons the heavens above,
    and the earth, that he may judge his people:
“Gather to me this consecrated people,
    who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
And the heavens proclaim his righteousness,
    for he is a God of justice.
(NIV)*

Reflection
Psalm 50 begins by reminding us Judgment Day is coming. A great summoning will take place. We will all gather before the throne of God. Rich and poor, the powerful and the weak, the living and the dead—all will gather before the LORD. None are excused. The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to where it sets (v. 1).

 On the day before his crucifixion Jesus elaborated at some length on this great summoning. For some it will be a day of joy and gladness; for others it will be a day of dread and sorrow. “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left” (Matthew 25:31-33).

What kind of day will it be for you?

It will certainly be a day of justice. The world is crying out for justice. All too often in this world—in this life—there is no such thing. The innocent suffer, while the perpetrators get off free. They gloat in their pride, while swaddled in luxury. On that great day—Judgment Day—the tables will be turned. The great Judge of all the earth will see to that. And so, He should. Since the fall of man, the world is crying out for justice.

It is well worth noting in his account of Judgment Day, Jesus decides if we will enter bliss or torment based on how we treat others. He states, “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me’ (Matthew 25:40).

Response
LORD God, help me to live my life in joyous preparation for that great summoning when wrong will be made right. Help me to be merciful so I will receive your mercy in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Your Turn
How can we prepare our hearts and live our lives aright in the knowledge Judgment Day is coming? What steps can you take to prepare for Judgment Day?

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.
