Psalm 71 Meditation: Genesis – Much of Sarah’s life foreshadows the troubles of the early Israelites. God changed her name as a symbol of their covenant, she became a slave of the Pharaoh in Egypt, and was freed from Egypt through a series of plagues.

Psalm 72 Meditation: Hebrews – There is something amazing about Moses, beside the burning bush and death-defying miracles. He lived his life as part of the royal family, as the son of the Pharaoh’s daughter. He was spared from being treated as the Hebrew slaves were. Yet, Moses chose to put aside all of the …

Psalm 61, 62 Meditation: John – These were the people of Galilee where Jesus grew up with his family. They knew him. They knew his siblings and parents.

Psalm 56 Meditation: Genesis – How horrible must the people of Sodom and Gamora have been for God to find wiping the entire valley out of existence the best course of action. God only threatens, and occasionally fulfills these threats, to exterminate an entire populace when people completely turn from him and fully embracing evil. …

Psalm 55 Meditation: John – What would you do if you saw your best friend and teacher walking on water towards you during a massive storm? The disciples weren’t just out of port, they were three to four miles out to sea. They were unreachable except by boat, especially with a storm making sailing so …

Psalm 51 Meditation: Genesis – Abram becomes Abraham and Sarai becomes Sarah as a sign of their covenant with God. The idea of renaming oneself as a symbol of a commitment is not unheard of. Nuns taking their vows choose a new name, typically one connected to a saint, as a symbol of commitment to …

Psalm: 66 Meditation: John – Bread was an important staple for almost every culture at the time of Jesus. People would survive on bread alone if they were too poor for anything else. Bread is certainly important to Jewish history, such as the need for unleavened bread during the Egyptian plagues and the miraculous manna …

Psalm: 34 Meditation: 1 Kings – Prophets in the Old Testament tend to anger the unrighteous kings and queens of Israel. In this passage, Elijah responds to Jezebel’s threat against his life by running into the wilderness. This man is one of the most righteous men in the Old Testament. Routinely the mouthpiece of God. …

Psalm: 80 Meditation John: “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?” This “hard saying” was John 6:43-59 (readings from Thursday & Friday).
