Daily Bible Reading “Don’t Put Your Trust in Princes” (Psalm 146:3-4)

dont-put-your-trust-in-princes-psalm-146-3Don’t Put Your Trust in Princes

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 146. The Bible warns us not to put our trust in princes. Even as believers, we have a tendency to put our faith in people in authority and are many times disappointed because of it.

We put people who are in leadership positions on pedestals and expect perfection from them, only to be let down when they can’t live up to our expectations.

Some of the people we may put our trust in includes pastors, religious leaders, government officials, celebrities, friends, and even our own family members. This particular Scripture warns us about putting our confidence in people who are in authority over us in the government such as princes, kings, and presidents.

As verse four warns us, we need to realize that like us, they are all human and despite our best efforts at times we all fail those whom we care about most, due to our lack of good judgement.

My focus in this particular lesson is on verses 3 and 4, but if you go on to read the rest of this chapter, which I have included for you, you will see that when we put our faith and trust in LORD God and the Lord Jesus Christ, instead of people, we won’t be disappointed. They will never fail us. They will never leave us or forsake us.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 146:1-10

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

 

Things to think about:

  • Who does this Scripture warn us about putting our trust in?
  • Why does it say we shouldn’t trust in them?
  • Who should we put our trust in and why?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank you for this Scripture that warns us about putting our faith and trust in princes. Help us to realize that they are only human, as we are, and despite their best efforts, at times they will make bad decisions and disappoint us. Help us to put our faith and trust in You and Your Son, instead of people. Help us to realize that You are the only one who will never leave us or forsake us. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Create in Me a Clean Heart” (Psalm 51:1-19)

Psalm 51 Create in me a Clean Heart

Create in Me a Clean Heart

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 51:1-19. Psalm 51 is a Psalm of David, it is written after David committed adultery with Bathsheba, and the prophet Nathan confronted him. The story of David and Bathsheba is recorded in 2 Samuel 11-12. You may want to read those chapters to help you better understand David’s situation at the time. In Psalm 51 David cries out to God for forgiveness. He confesses his sin to God and asks God to cleanse him. Have you asked God to forgive you of your sins?

David asks God to cleanse his heart and create a right spirit in him. He begs God not to turn away from him or to take the Holy Spirit from him. He asks God to restore to him the joy of his salvation. David declares he will praise God despite his shortcomings.

David says, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.” God wants us to come to Him and ask for His forgiveness for our sins. He wants us to be obedient and do the things that are right in His sight. God loves us unconditionally, but when we fail to meet His expectations we need to repent, and turn from our sins.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 51:1-19

1 [[To the Chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.]] Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

 

Things to think about:

  • Is there anything in your life for which you need to ask God’s forgiveness? If so, pray and ask Him to forgive you.
  • In what ways can we be in constant fellowship with God?
  • Have you received the joy of salvation?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in the book of Psalms. Help us to ask for Your forgiveness of our sins. Help us to be obedient to Your Word. Help us to desire to be in fellowship with You constantly. Create in us a clean heart. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Noah’s Fall” (Genesis 9:20-29)

Genesis 9 20-21 Noah's FallNoah’s Fall

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Genesis 9:20-29. Noah became a farmer and planted a vineyard. He made wine from the vineyard and drank too much of the wine, and became drunk. Then, Noah went to lie down in his tent and fell asleep uncovered. Noah may not have known what the effects of drinking too much wine would be, but he became incapacitated.

Ephesians 5:18 warns us, “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.” The key to the whole dilemma of whether or not it is okay to drink wine is found in Ephesians 5:18 where it tells us not to get drunk with wine by drinking it in excess. This Scripture also reminds us to be filled with the Spirit, by doing so we can be full of joy until it overflows.

One of the reasons the Bible warns us about getting drunk is that drinking in excess clouds our judgement and may cause us to do things we wouldn’t ordinarily do (see Proverbs 31:4-5).

Proverbs 20:1 tells us, “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”

In an effort to prove that it is okay to drink wine, some people may refer to 1Timothy 5:23, which says, “Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.” This Scripture seems to be suggesting using wine for medicinal purposes. There may have been a problem with the water that was causing them to get sick on their stomachs. The key to the whole dilemma of whether or not it is okay to drink wine is found in Ephesians 5:18 where it tells us not to get drunk with wine by drinking it in excess. This Scripture also reminds us to be filled with the Spirit, by doing so we will be full of joy until it overflows.

Ham, the father of Canaan, went into the tent and saw his father naked. He went outside the tent, and told his two brothers what happened. Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it over both of their shoulders, and walked backward into the tent, and covered up their father. They made sure to keep their faces facing backward, so they would not see their father’s nakedness.

In this day and age we may wonder, “What was the big deal?” But, in Noah’s day, it was a shame for a son to see his father naked. We don’t know whether anything else happened in the tent or not, but Leviticus 18 goes through whole list of people whom we should not see naked.

Once the wine wore off, Noah woke up and realized what his younger son, Ham, had done. Noah was upset and cursed, Ham’s son Canaan, and said he would be one of the least of servants to his brothers.

Noah blessed his son Shem saying, “Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.” Shem was blessed because of his relationship with God.

He also blessed his son Japheth saying, “God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.” Japheth would be blessed through his brother, Shem, but Ham’s son, Canaan would be the servant of both of the sons.

This may have been the beginning of a family feud. Can you imagine being told you would be a servant to your family members?

Noah lived 350 years after the flood and a total of 950 years before he died. Can you imagine living to be that old?

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Genesis 9:20-29

20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

 

Things to think about:

  • What was Noah’s vocation in this Scripture?
  • Where did Noah fail?
  • What are some of the dangers of drinking too much wine?
  • What did Noah do to his sons because of the incident in this passage?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we study this passage we see some of the problems with drinking too much wine. Help us to realize that sometimes these things become a trap. Help us to guard against getting caught up in drinking and the possibility of getting drunk or using bad judgement. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “God’s Covenant with Noah” (Genesis 9:8-19)

Genesis 9 13God’s Covenant with Noah

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Genesis 9:8-19. God told Noah and his sons that He was making a covenant with them and with every living creature that the earth would never be destroyed by a flood again.

God created a rainbow for Noah, his sons, and the rest of the world as a reminder of His covenant not to ever abolish the earth by flood again. So, every time you see a rainbow in the sky you can be reminded of the story of Noah and God’s promise to him.

Not only is the rainbow a reminder for us, but God said it was a reminder for Him of the covenant He made with Noah and all living creatures.

A covenant is a promise made between two parties. An example of a covenant is the wedding vows that two people share and exchange rings as a sign of that promise. If we make a promise to someone, we should keep it, but there may be instances when we don’t keep our promises.

A covenant between God and man is a divine ordinance with signs or pledges. God gave the rainbow as a sign of His covenant with Noah. When God makes a covenant with us, we can count on Him keeping His promise.

The earth was replenished by Noah’s three sons who were spared in the Ark with Noah. Noah’s sons were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan. How can several men replenish the whole earth?

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Genesis 9:8-19

8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

 

Things to think about:

  • What was God’s covenant with Noah?
  • What did God give as a sign to remind us of His covenant with Noah?
  • What were Noah’s three sons’ names?
  • What was the role of Noah’s sons after the flood?
  • Who was the father of Canaan?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we study this Scripture and are reminded of the covenant You made with Noah and all living creatures we are grateful. Every time we see a rainbow we are reminded of Your covenant. Thanks for the beautiful reminder of Your love for us. Help us to show our love and appreciation to You for all You do for us. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “God Blessed Noah” (Genesis 9:1-7)

Genes 9 1 God blessed NoahGod Blessed Noah

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Genesis 9:1-7. God blessed Noah and his sons, and told them to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.

God also told them that they would have dominion over the earth and every creature on the earth. He said that fear and dread would be on every beast of the earth, every fowl of the air, everything that moved on the earth and on all the fishes of the sea, because they had been delivered into their hands.

God informed Noah that every moving thing that lived on the earth would be food for them like the green herb. But God warned them that they were not to eat any living flesh while its blood was still in it.

God said that he would require the life of anyone who took another person’s life. If a wild beast killed a person, it must die. Anybody who sheds a man’s blood, his life will be taken, because God made man in His own image.

From the beginning man was God’s most prized creation. He made sure to take care of every need man had. He loved us then and He still loves us today and provides our needs. He’s a good Father.

God commanded Noah and his sons to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Genesis 9:1-7

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.

6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

 

Things to think about:

  • What authority did God give Noah and his sons?
  • What did God give Noah permission to eat?
  • What did God forbid Noah and his sons to eat?
  • What did God command Noah and his sons to do?

 

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we study this passage we see that You blessed Noah and his sons and gave them dominion over the earth and every living thing on the earth. You also commanded them to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth. Help us as we live in this earth to have respect for one another and all the creatures that You created. Help us to honor You in all that we do. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
