Daily Bible Reading “I Will Extol Thee, My God” (Psalm 145:1-9)

I Will Extol Thee, My God

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 145:1-9. Psalm 145 is a Psalm of praise by David, where he says that he will exalt God as his king every day and he will bless God’s name forever. David declares, “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised.” God’s greatness is immeasurable.

David says that each generation will praise God’s name to the next and tell of His mighty works. David professes that he will talk about God’s glorious honor and majesty, declaring His greatness.

David proclaims that they will all sing of God’s righteousness and His goodness forever. Verse 8 is one of my favorite verses in this Scripture. It says, “The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.” David declares that the LORD is good and His tender mercy is over all His works. Are these characteristics of God that we should inherit?

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 145:1-9

1 [David’s [Psalm of praise.]] I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

 

Things to think about:

  • How can we exalt God as our king?
  • What are some things for which we can bless God?
  • How can we pass the story of God and Jesus to the next generation?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 145 where David exalts You. He praises and blesses Your name. He promises to spread Your name to the next generation. Help us to do as David did by worshiping, praising, and sharing You with others. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Blessed Be the LORD My Strength” (Psalm 144:1-15)

Blessed Be the LORD My Strength

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 144:1-15. Psalm 144 is a Psalm of David that praises the LORD, who is his strength, his fortress, his shield, and his deliverer. David begs God to deliver him from the hand of his enemy and to war against the enemy for him. David declares that he will sing praises to the LORD for his deliverance.

One of my favorite Scriptures in this chapter in verse 3, which says, “LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!” Have you ever wondered this yourself? Why would the God of heaven and earth be concerned for us? He was so concerned for us that He would give His only Son to die on a cruel cross for our sins.

David calls on the LORD to show His strength by smiting the mountains and causing them to smoke. He asks God to shoot down lightning from the heavens to scatter the enemy and destroy them, so his sons and daughters might flourish, and his livestock would multiply and be strong. Then, they could all be happy and rejoice in the LORD.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 144:1-15

1 [[A Psalm of David.]] Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
3 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
10 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
13 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
14 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.

 

Things to think about:

  • Have you ever wondered why God would care for man?
  • How does it make you feel to know how much He cares for you?
  • In what ways do you trust God as your deliverer?
  • How do you praise and worship God?
  • The Scripture says, “Happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.” In what ways do you find happiness in the LORD?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture from Psalm 144. We see David loved You and counted on You to be his deliverer. Help us to know that You are on our side and that when times are tough we can call on You to be our deliverer. Help us to sing praises to Your holy name. Help us to be happy and find joy in serving You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Hear My Prayer, O LORD” (Psalm 143:1-12)

Hear My Prayer, O LORD

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 143:1-12. The Book of Psalms is a book of prayers. Psalm 143 is a Psalm of David where he pours out his heart to God asking God to hear his prayer and supplications. David asks God not to judge him because in His sight no man could be justified. God knew that no man was able to keep the law that is why He sent his Son, Jesus, into the world to save us from our sins.

Let’s take a look at Acts 13:38-39, which says, “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.” We can be justified (just as if I never sinned) to God by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

David pours out his heart to God telling Him how the enemy has persecuted him and has brought him down. But, David knows where to go for strength. He meditates on God’s works and his soul thirsts for God.

David longs to feel the loving presence of God. He trusts God and wants to know what God wants him to do. David begs God to deliver him from his enemies and to teach him to do God’s will. He wants God to teach him to live righteously and he reminds God that he is His servant.

Romans 10:4 says, “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” When Christ died on the cross there was no more need for the law. He became the sacrifice for our sins. We have to believe and receive Him into our lives to have forgiveness of our sins. Have you accepted Christ as your Savior?

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 143:1-12

1 [[A Psalm of David.]] Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

 

Things to think about:

  • Have you ever felt as David describes in this Scripture? If so, describe your feelings and what brought them to life?
  • Do you ever feel hungry and thirsty for God? If so, describe that feeling.
  • How often do you pour out your heart to God?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture where we see how David prayed and poured out his heart to You. Help us to trust You and know that You have our best interest at heart. Thank You for Your Son, Jesus, who became the justification for our sins. LORD, we pray for those who have not yet accepted Him as their Savior that they would do so today. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “You Are My Refuge” (Psalm 142:1-7)

You Are My Refuge

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 142:1-7. Psalm 142 is a Psalm of David, a prayer of contemplation when he was hiding in a cave. David poured out his heart to the LORD. He was overwhelmed by the trouble he was going through.

David declared that the LORD was his refuge. David wanted the LORD to comfort his spirit and deliver him from his prosecutors. His enemies were stronger than he was and no doubt there were many of them. He begs the LORD to bring his spirit out of bondage, so he could praise the LORD. Have you ever felt like your spirit was in bondage?

David’s enemies were hunting him down and he was hiding in a cave. David turned his heart toward God and cried out to Him. He knew God was the only one who could deliver him from his enemies. David was in a desperate situation. Have you ever been in a situation where you knew God was the only answer to your problem?

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 142:1-7

1 [[Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.]] I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

 

Things to think about:

  • Can you imagine having to hide in a cave like David did? How would you survive?
  • In what ways do you turn to God when you are afraid or you have trouble in your life?
  • Have you ever noticed in times of trouble you feel closer to God? If so, in what ways?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 142 where we see that David turned to You in his time of trouble. When he was afraid and being hunted he called on You to deliver him. Help us to bring our cares and concerns to You. Help us to lean on You in our times of trouble. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “A Prayer for Preservation from Evil” (Psalm 141:1-9)

A Prayer for Preservation from Evil

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 141:1-9. Psalm 141 is a Psalm of David where David cries out to the LORD in prayer. David asks the LORD to accept his prayer as incense and the lifting of his hands as evening sacrifice. He begs God to put a watch over his mouth and guard his lips against speaking evil.

David requests of God to protect his heart from any wicked ways and help him not to practice the evil ways of the wicked. David pours his heart out to God asking Him to protect him from his enemies and let them be caught in their own traps. David may have been afraid, but he prayed to God and trusted God with the outcome of the situation. David had faith in God that He would see him through.

Are you going through a situation in your life that you need to talk to God about? Go to God with an open heart, soul, and mind. God wants to hear from you. God loves you and He can handle whatever problem you have.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 141:1-9

1 [[A Psalm of David.]] LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.

 

Things to think about:

  • Do you ever pray to God in the way David did in this Psalm? How does it make you feel?
  • In what ways do you pour out your heart and soul to God?
  • Do you ask God for what you really want or do you dance around the subject?
  • In what ways can you be more open and honest with God?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 141 where we see David pours out his heart and soul to You in prayer. Help us to do that as well when we pray. Help us to share with You what we are really feeling in our own body, soul, and mind. Help us to be honest and open with You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
