Psalm: 107:33-43 Meditation: LukeYou can gain quite a bit of context by reading multiple accounts of the same event. Here in Luke’s gospel, we learn that the overwhelming weight of others’ sins has affected Jesus and an angel is sent to strengthen him.

Psalm: 101 Meditation: LukeHow many times have we heard or read this passage and how many times have we pondered what it means?

Psalm: 74  Meditation Luke: Here we go again! Faith versus works. A lawyer, no less, challenges Jesus on the best, if not the shortest way to inherit eternal life.

Psalm: 96 Meditation Luke: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life…” This verse, along with others like it, ranks among the most useless in all of Scripture.

Psalm: 106  Meditation Deuteronomy is a retelling of the law. Simple enough. It also serves to “fill in the gaps” left in the law’s wake. Verse 3 cuts to the heart of the matter like a laser: “one does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of the …

Psalms: 127, 130 Meditation Luke: A centurion had asked Jewish elders to appeal to Jesus to come and heal his servant. The centurion was a Gentile who was apparently keen to Jewish sensitivities regarding interactions between Jews and Gentiles.
