Psalm: 83 Meditation: GenThis passage is the preparation for Jacob to be reunited with Joseph in Egypt. Pharaoh has sent many carts to carry their belongings and descendants.

Psalm: 98 Meditation: ColPart of this passage sparks discussions of which parts of scripture, if any, were for the times that the scriptures were written? There are directives on family life and life/work relationships. Christians should live lives of prayer and thanksgiving. Instead Christians should ask God to open doors and to be persuasive in …

Psalm: 93 Meditation: ColThis passage should convict and convince us of the aspects of a dedicated life of a Christian. When was the last time you heard of a situation in a church or other Christians and prayed for them or thought of them continuously? The rest of this passage is a concise theology lesson …

Psalm: 88 Meditation: MattWhy is the Lord’s prayer prefaced by warnings of how not to pray? The Lord’s Prayer starts with the term “Our Father”. Can you imagine calling the all knowing God of the universe Daddy, in a society that wouldn’t pronounce or spell God’s name lest you violate the third commandment. If God …

Psalm: 26 Meditation Jeremiah:  Jeremiah’s prayer here opens much like Psalm 73 – the wicked thrive whereas the righteous do not. The people of his own hometown threaten to kill him if he continues to prophesy in the LORD’s name. Jesus endured the same threat of death while preaching in Nazareth (Luke 4). God promises …

Psalm: 45 Meditation Ephesians: So, this is a prayer. I can tell because Paul said, “I bow my knees…” (v. 14) He is praying for his hearers (and in our case his readers) “that you may have power to comprehend… and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be …

Psalm: 38 Meditation Habakkuk: Habakkuk shares with us a magnificent prayer. This guy has an enviable relationship with God; I wish I could pray as eloquently. Remember, this is a personal prayer – it may not have been in the message intended for Judah (and us). Habakkuk, unlike most prophets, (an official of the state …

Psalm: 26 Meditation Acts: John and Peter would go to the Temple at the time of prayer (about 3 in the afternoon). As they walked on, a paralytic lay near the “Beautiful Gate” asking alms of the passersby. Peter caught the man’s eye and told him that he and John had no gold and then …

Psalms: 40, 52  Meditation Mark: Consider a couple of things: 1) the faith of those who carried/accompanied this unfortunate man, and 2) how ugly legalism looks up close or even in the heart. “When Jesus saw their faith…” (v.5) I see nothing here referring to the faith status of the paralytic but of those who …
