Morning Prayer 2

Psalm 63

1        O God, you are my God, I seek you,

my soul thirsts for you;

my flesh faints for you,

as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

2        So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,

beholding your power and glory.

3        Because your steadfast love is better than life,

my lips will praise you.

4        So I will bless you as long as I live;

I will lift up my hands and call on your name.

5        My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast,

and my mouth praises you with joyful lips

6        when I think of you on my bed,

and meditate on you in the watches of the night;

7        for you have been my help,

and in the shadow of your wings, I sing for joy.

8        My soul clings to you;

your right hand upholds me.

9        But those who seek to destroy my life

shall go down into the depths of the earth;

10       they shall be given over to the power of the sword,

they shall be prey for jackals.

11       But the king shall rejoice in God;

all who swear by him shall exult,

for the mouths of liars will be stopped.

 

Lord thank you for giving me another day to live my life for you. I desire to dedicate this day to you. Show me the way I should live today. Give me the strength to stand up for you in all I do this day. Help me to be the person you need me to be in these days. Amen

Reflecting on Reformation Day

-
  On October 31st, millions of Christians around the world celebrate Reformation Day, a commemoration of a pivotal moment in church history. It marks the day in 1517 when Martin Luther, a German monk and scholar, nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. This act, challenging the practices and doctrines of the Catholic Church, ignited what we now know as the Protestant Reformation. The Courage to Stand for Truth Reformation Day calls us to reflect on the courage it takes to stand for truth. Martin Luther faced immense opposition and risked his life to speak against the corruption and abuses he saw within the church. His conviction was rooted in a deep understanding of scripture and a sincere desire to return to the teachings of Christ. As we remember Luther's bravery, let us examine our own lives. Are we willing to stand firm in our beliefs, even when it is difficult? Do we seek truth in God's word and let it guide our actions? Script...

Sealing A New Agreement

-
Nehemiah 9:38 to 10:39 Chapters 9 and 10 of Nehemiah present an exceptional moment in Israel's history. After a period of reflection and confession, the people of Israel make a covenant with God, reaffirming their commitment and dedication to following His commandments and decrees. This passage offers profound insights into the nature of repentance, commitment, and the collective responsibility of a faith community. Nehemiah 9:38 marks the beginning of this covenant, where the Israelites, led by their leaders, priests, and Levites, put their seal on a written agreement. This act symbolizes a collective acknowledgment of their past failures and a renewed commitment to live according to God's laws. It is a powerful reminder that true repentance involves both confession and a decisive turn towards righteousness. As we delve into chapter 10, we see the specifics of this covenant. The people pledge to adhere to various aspects of the Mosaic Law, including prohibiting interma...

Bold Testimony

-
  Scripture: Acts 4:8-12 (ESV) Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, 9  if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, 10  let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. 11  This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. 12  And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Devotion: In this passage from Acts 4:8-12, we witness a decisive moment where Peter, emboldened by the Holy Spirit, addresses the rulers and elders of the people. His bold testimony is not just a defense of miraculous healing but a proclamation of the central truth of the Christian faith. ...
