Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Reading: Psalm 49:13-20

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,
    and of their followers, who approve their sayings.
They are like sheep and are destined to die;
    death will be their shepherd
    (but the upright will prevail over them in the morning).
Their forms will decay in the grave,
    far from their princely mansions.
But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead;
    he will surely take me to himself.
Do not be overawed when others grow rich,
    when the splendor of their houses increases;
for they will take nothing with them when they die,
    their splendor will not descend with them.
Though while they live they count themselves blessed—
    and people praise you when you prosper—
they will join those who have gone before them,
    who will never again see the light of life.
People who have wealth but lack understanding
    are like the beasts that perish.
(NIV)*

Reflection
Throughout Psalm 49 the psalmist is establishing a contrast between those who trust in themselves and the wealth they have accumulated, and those who put their trust in God. Death is the fate of all, rich and poor, wise, and foolish. The grave spares no one. This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings. They are like sheep and are destined to die; death will be their shepherd (but the upright will prevail over them in the morning) vs. 13-14.

 I find great hope between the parentheses in the passage above. But the upright will prevail over them in the morning. A new day is coming—a day of resurrection—a day where justice will prevail at last. We can rest in hope that wrongs will be righted, truth will triumph over lies, and joy will snuff out sorrow. Yes, a new morning will dawn. A Redeemer is coming. Along with suffering Job believers can say, “I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God” (Job 19:25-26).

The psalmist boldly declares where he has placed his faith: But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead; he will surely take me to himself (v. 15).

Is that where you have placed your faith? Do you put your trust in Jesus, the Redeemer, who purchased your redemption with his shed blood? Death is a certainty, but so is redemption for those who put their trust in the One who died and rose again.

Response
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.

Your Turn
Is your heart ready for that glorious day? Have you bowed before your Redeemer? How will you respond to him when he takes you home to glory?

Today’s Reading: Psalm 47

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
I put my trust in you.
In times of trouble,
you have been my help
and my strength.
I turn to you in confidence

Lent Reading:
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).

This is love:
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son

Be Still Today

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Reading: Psalm 46:8-11

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

Come and see what the LORD has done,
    the desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease
    to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
    he burns the shields with fire.
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”
The LORD Almighty is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress.
(NIV)*

Reflection
As I sit to write this it’s Holy Week—a week of contemplation leading to Good Friday—leading to our Saviour’s death on the cross. The opening line of this reading from Psalm 46 grabs me: Come and see what the LORD has done.

Yes. Come and see what the LORD has done! Come and see what has happened to God’s son. Come and see the desolations he has brought on the earth—the desolations He has brought on the dust-formed bundle of flesh that at birth was laid in a manager. Now he is laid on a cross. He is not wrapped in swaddling clothes. He is stripped naked; arms pried wide open and nailed to a cross.

Come and see what has happened to him. This is the LORD’s doing. This is the Father’s will. This is the Son’s willing obedience. Now hear the Spirit’s beckoning call, “Come and see what the LORD has done!”

 This is what love looks like—not our love for God, but God’s love for man. Love looks like Jesus on the cross. Love looks like a bloody sacrifice, engineered by God, inflicted on God, God come-in-the-flesh. Love looks painful. It looks painful because it gives to the last drop. It calls us near to the last breath. “Come and see what the LORD has done!”

 And when you come be still. He says, “Be still, and know that I am God.”

 This is not the time to rush on by. Eve reached for the forbidden fruit. Adam rushed after her. Rushing has brought us this mess—this messed up world—this mess on the cross. Self-centered rushing hurtles us into sin with no thought for tomorrow—no thought for the man on a cross. Instead, today, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Be still. Be still before the cross. He is God. The man on the cross is God. Love has a price, always has a price. It’s written in blood—the Savior’s blood.

Response
LORD God, alter me at the foot of the cross. I need you to change my heart, my life, my attitude. Help me be still before you as I contemplate your love—love I don’t deserve—that I have not earned. But Jesus, you offered yourself freely. Thank you. Amen.

Your Turn
Has your life been altered by the cross? How has a journey to the cross changed how you live your daily life?

Today’s Devotion from Psalms 365 by David Kitz

Reading: Psalm 46:1-7

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

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.
(NIV)*

Reflection

Why are you confident? Confidence is a key ingredient in the life of any child of God. If we lack confidence, we lack faith. In fact, the word confidence is rooted in faith. Confidence is derived from the Latin word fide, which means faith. It is etymologically linked to words like fidelity and fiduciary—words that stand for trust and true faithfulness. But this faithfulness, fidelity and confidence come as a result of a relationship.

If we have no relationship with someone, how can we trust them? How can we have confidence in them or their actions if we don’t know them? 

Here in Psalm 46, the psalmist expresses his complete confidence in God. He expresses confidence despite the evidence around him. Hear his confident assertion: 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 (vs. 1-3).

There is nothing quite as unnerving as an earthquake. I know this from personal experience. When the solid ground beneath one’s feet suddenly gives way and rolls and buckles, nerves begin to fray. But the psalmist remains confident because he knows the One who is in control—the One who remains unmoved and unshakable. In times of trouble, we can turn to Him.

But we should not turn to God simply as a last resort. He is the God who is with us. Our confidence grows as we live with Him day by day, in good times and bad. Our confidence grows as we experience Him as our rock of refuge and our shelter in the storm. Then we can say, “The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress” (v. 7).

Response
LORD God, I put my trust in you. In times of trouble, you have been my help and my strength. I turn to you in confidence because you are with me. You are my Savior and my God. Amen.

Your Turn
Has your confidence been shaken recently? Where have you turned for help?

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:

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)*

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.

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


Today’s Reading: Psalm 38:17-22 

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

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.”
(Acts 5:30-32 NIV)*


Whoever does not love does not know God,
because God is love (1 John 4:8 NIV)

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.
