Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

Reading: Psalm 92:1-8 (NIV)*

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.
It is good to praise the LORD
    and make music to your name, O Most High,
proclaiming your love in the morning
    and your faithfulness at night,
to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
    and the melody of the harp.
For you make me glad by your deeds, LORD;
    I sing for joy at what your hands have done.
How great are your works, LORD,
    how profound your thoughts!
Senseless people do not know,
    fools do not understand,
that though the wicked spring up like grass
    and all evildoers flourish,
    they will be destroyed forever.
But you, LORD, are forever exalted.

Reflection

Why is music such a central part of the Christian worship experience? For the answer to that question, we need to look no further than the opening lines of Psalm 92. It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp (v. 1-3).

To put it simply, praising the LORD is a good thing. Making music to honor the name of the Most High is a wholesome expression of our love for God. Furthermore, the LORD approves the use of musical instruments. The harp and the lyre are mentioned here, but there is no scriptural reason to limit the use of instruments.

Why do men sing love songs? Because they love the woman of their dreams—the object of their affection. The same holds true when we fall in love with God. The LORD becomes the object of our deepest affection. He is worthy of our praise.

Do you need some reasons to praise God? The psalmist provides us with some sound reasons: For you make me glad by your deeds, LORD; I sing for joy at what your hands have done. How great are your works, LORD, how profound your thoughts! (v. 4-5).

If the marvels of creation are insufficient to prompt us to praise, then consider for a moment the wonders of redemption. God sent His only begotten Son to suffer and die on our behalf. He purchased our eternal redemption with the shed blood of Jesus. Oh, what love! What wondrous love! It makes me want to break out in song.

Response

LORD God, every morning I want to praise you. Thank you for the gift of music. Help me use my voice and every talent you have given me to express my praise to you. Amen.

Your Turn

Do you enjoy praising God? Do you save your praise for Sundays or is it expressed daily?

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


Today’s Reading: Psalm 91: 9-16(NIV)*

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD,
you are such a good God.
I don’t deserve your goodness and love
and yet you continually pour out your blessings.
I love you, LORD.
I want to dwell in you now and always.
Amen.

   — — — —

 

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Heals Many

Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon.
Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever,
and they asked Jesus to help her. 
So he bent over her and rebuked the fever,
and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.

At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness,
and laying his hands on each one, he healed them.
 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting,
“You are the Son of God!”
 But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak,
because they knew he was the Messiah.

At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place.
The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was,
they tried to keep him from leaving them.
But he said,
“I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also,
because that is why I was sent.”
 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
(Luke 4:38-44).

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us:
He has given us of his Spirit.

We Can Get Satisfaction!

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

Reading: Psalm 91:9-16 (NIV)*

If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”
    and you make the Most High your dwelling,
no harm will overtake you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

“Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call on me, and I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble,
    I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him
    and show him my salvation”.

Reflection

Let’s be honest. We all want it. We all want satisfaction. For our sex-obsessed society that can only mean one thing, but personal satisfaction encompasses so many facets of life. I want a satisfying meal when I sit down to dinner this evening. I want satisfactory service at the restaurant, at the auto repair shop and on the plane that I’m catching tomorrow. Above all else I want a satisfying life.

This may come as a surprise to many people, but the simple truth is God wants to give you a satisfying life. Here is the long list of promises that the LORD promises to undertake on your behalf. “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation”

In summary, we will be protected and rescued. Our prayers will be answered. We will know God’s presence in times of trouble. And just imagine this; the LORD will honor us. Consider for a moment the implications of that. Furthermore, we are promised eternal salvation, and in the here and now, we will have a long and satisfying life.

That sounds like an amazing offer, and it truly is. But there are two conditions attached. We need say, “The LORD is my refuge.” In other words, we need to confess our dependence on God, and then we must make the Most High our dwelling. We need to live in God, not our own little world, but rather His world with our minds and hearts set on Him. That will take a decision that is renewed daily. Are you ready for that kind of commitment? Are you ready for that kind of satisfaction?

Response

LORD, you are such a good God. I don’t deserve your goodness and love and yet you continually pour out your blessings. I love you, LORD. I want to dwell in you now and always. Amen.

Your Turn

What do you think it means to dwell in God? Is it more than a place of safety?

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Listen to Psalm 90:13-17 read by Jonathan Dent.

Reading: Psalm 90:13-17 (NIV)*

Relent, LORD! How long will it be?
Have compassion on your servants.
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
for as many years as we have seen trouble.
May your deeds be shown to your servants,
your splendor to their children.
May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us;
establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands.

Response

LORD God, I often become impatient or frustrated with my work. Open my eyes to see how you are working in me and through me as I go about my daily tasks. Help me to have an eternal perspective. Lord, establish the work of my hands. Amen.

LORD,
you are my shelter in a stormy world.

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit

Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee,
and on the Sabbath he taught the people.
They were amazed at his teaching,
because his words had authority.

In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon,
an impure spirit.
He cried out at the top of his voice,
 “Go away! What do you want with us,
Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us?
I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”

 “Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly. “Come out of him!”
Then the demon threw the man down before them all
and came out without injuring him.

All the people were amazed and said to each other,
“What words these are!
With authority and power
he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!”
And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.
(Luke 4:31-37).

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us:
He has given us of his Spirit.

Pestilence that Stalks in the Dark

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

Reading: Psalm 91:1-8 (NIV)*

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
 I will say of the LORD,
“He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare
    and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
 You will not fear the terror of night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
    nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.

Reflection

In the introduction to this volume on the Psalms, I made this blanket statement, “Whatever state you find yourself in, there’s a psalm for that—a psalm for every situation and human need.” That includes a global pandemic—the likes of which we never seen—a pandemic that shuts down the economy and leaves us confined to our homes.

Psalm 91 directly addresses the topic of pandemics.  “You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you” (v. 5-7).

Epidemics of various kinds have ravaged humanity for thousands of years including during biblical times. But during the last 150 years, the development of vaccines, and improved hygiene practices have made epidemics rare occurrences.

In such perilous times, what does the psalmist do? He addresses the fear factor. We live in a world where fear is contagious. Will there be another global pandemic, a terrorist attack, a stock market collapse, or a recession? Will my marriage survive? Will my children turn out, okay?

Yes, please follow the advice of health professionals. But do you trust the Almighty? Above all else, this psalm calls us to put our trust in a loving heavenly Father. Having come under his wings, we find safety.

Response

LORD God, you are my shelter in a stormy world. I am so safe—so very safe—when I am with you. I want to live each day in the confidence you care for me as a loving Father cares for His dear child. Amen.

Your Turn

If you truly know the loving nature of God, trust should come easily. Does it? What do you use to anchor your faith during troubled times?

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit,
left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
 where for forty days he was tempted by the devil.
He ate nothing during those days,
and at the end of them he was hungry

The devil said to him,
“If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

Jesus answered,
“It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’

The devil led him up to a high place
and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.
And he said to him,
“I will give you all their authority and splendor;
it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to
 If you worship me, it will all be yours.”

Jesus answered, “It is written:
‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’ ”

The devil led him to Jerusalem
and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.
“If you are the Son of God,” he said,
“throw yourself down from here. 
For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you carefully;
11 they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’ ”

Jesus answered, “It is said:
‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ”

When the devil had finished all this tempting,
he left him until an opportune time.
(Luke 4:1-13).

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us:
He has given us of his Spirit.

What Brings You Joy in Work?

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

Reading: Psalm 90:13-17 (NIV)*

Relent, LORD! How long will it be?
    Have compassion on your servants.
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
   that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
    for as many years as we have seen trouble.
May your deeds be shown to your servants,
    your splendor to their children.
May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us;
    establish the work of our hands for us—
    yes, establish the work of our hands.

Reflection

Does your work have value and meaning? I certainly hope it does. There is nothing quite as frustrating as spending long hours working on something and then realizing it’s useless or unappreciated.

In many ways our work defines us. Frequently, we identify people by their work. Bob, the plumber, Susan, the teacher, and Troy, the accountant are examples of this tendency. It shouldn’t surprise us then to hear this request at the conclusion of Psalm 90: May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands.

Some people are of the opinion that work is a result of the curse, but that is not true. Before our first parents fell into sin, they had a work assignment from their Creator. The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it (Genesis 2:15). The requirement, or should I say blessing of work, preceded mankind’s fall into sin. The consequence of sin simply meant that work would become more arduous and prone to frustration. Weeds would grow; harvests would fail.

We all need the favor of the Lord our God to rest on us. Usually, God’s favor is synonymous with God’s grace. It’s not earned; it’s freely given. In this case the Hebrew word that is translated here as favor could also be translated as beauty. God’s gracious favor is perhaps the most beautiful attribute of our LORD. Without His favor our work will not be established. It will have no lasting worth, value, or beauty.

Today as you set your day or your work week into motion, make this your prayer: May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands. 

When the day is done, and my head hits the pillow I want to know that the work I accomplished that day has value and meaning. Better yet, I would like that work to have eternal worth. Only God can establish that lasting worth. Commit your work into His hands.

Response

LORD God, I often become impatient or frustrated with my work. Open my eyes to see how you are working in me and through me as I go about my daily tasks. Help me to have an eternal perspective. Lord, establish the work of my hands. Amen.

Your Turn

Do you feel that your work is worthwhile? What brings you joy in work?

Gospel Reading:
The Boy Jesus at the Temple

Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover.
When he was twelve years old,
they went up to the festival, according to the custom.
 After the festival was over,
while his parents were returning home,
the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it.
 Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day.
Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends.
 When they did not find him,
they went back to Jerusalem to look for him.
After three days they found him in the temple courts,
sitting among the teachers,
listening to them and asking them questions.
 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.
 When his parents saw him, they were astonished.
His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this?
Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”

“Why were you searching for me?” he asked.
 “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”
 But they did not understand what he was saying to them.

 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them.
But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.
And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature,
and in favor with God and man.
(Luke 2:41-52).

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us:
He has given us of his Spirit.

Teach us to number our days

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

Reading: Psalm 90:7-12 (NIV)*

We are consumed by your anger
    and terrified by your indignation.
You have set our iniquities before you,
    our secret sins in the light of your presence.
All our days pass away under your wrath;
    we finish our years with a moan.
Our days may come to seventy years,
    or eighty, if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,
    for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
If only we knew the power of your anger!
    Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.
Teach us to number our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Reflection

The finite nature of our lives here on planet earth should cause us to give serious thought to how we spend the days that we have been allotted. Once we reach the age of forty, roughly half of our life is over. Some claim it’s all downhill from that point forward. Life seems to speed up—to pass by quickly— as we careen toward our demise.

Moses concludes his prayer here in Psalm 90 with these words: Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom (v. 12).

No one wants to reach the end of their days and then realize that they have wasted their life. In our hearts, we all want to have a meaningful life filled with purpose. Much of that striving for success and our drive for a long list of accomplishments comes from a desire for meaning and purpose in life. Moses certainly had a string of achievements on his resume before the LORD called him home. He was after all the liberator of a nation. He was revered as a great leader and the great law giver. But was that due to Moses’ great ambition?

The Bible paints a different picture of Moses. When God called him into service, Moses resisted. The adopted son of Pharaoh was content to shepherd a few sheep on the backside of the desert. But God had other plans—bigger plans. This is what we are told about Moses. Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth (Numbers 12:3).

Perhaps true wisdom begins with humility—with knowing our place in the grand scheme of things. It starts as it did for Moses by hearing God’s call and ultimately being willing to obey, whatever that takes and wherever that takes us.

Response

LORD, teach me to number my days, so I may gain a heart of wisdom. Give me ears to hear what you are saying to me. I want to live a meaningful life filled with purpose coming from you. Amen.

Your Turn

Are you numbering your days or are they numbering you? Are you following God’s call and purpose for your life?
