Psalm 114

The Morning Devotional: Psalm 114
Prayer: Our great God in heaven, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we give you thanks for revealing yourself to poor and miserable creatures of dust. You made us. We belong to you. You fashioned us after your image to enjoy you. Yet, we sinned and brought shame and dishonor to that image you gave us.
It's a common observation that a local church, like any other gathering of people, is not immune to conflict. When a group of individuals, all sinners, come together, it's only natural that disputes will arise. These conflicts can even occur between people who share the same love for the Lord and Savior as you do.
We live in a world of instant information. Yet, with our access through various mediums and devices, God’s people are more biblically illiterate than ever in history. Not long ago, parents catechized their children, conducted family worship each evening, and spent time praying together as families. Not long ago, missing worship (both services) would have been unthinkable. Things have changed in our modern world, and I am not convinced they have changed for the better. The fruit of our failures to catechize, conduct family worship, and teach the importance of corporate worship each Lord’s Day is rotten. Its effects are visible across the spectrum of our culture and, worse, our churches.

The Morning Devotional: Psalm 62
Prayer: Our God, we confess that we are not prone to wait in silence for you, especially when we are facing difficulties from others. We confess that we are prone to resisting your will and grumbling against it instead of submitting to your divine purposes in our lives.

For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,

Psalm 61
May 20, 2026
Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
2 from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I,
3 for you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.

Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods?
Do you judge the children of man uprightly?
2 No, in your hearts you devise wrongs;
your hands deal out violence on earth.

The Morning Devotional: Psalm 58
Prayer: Our God in heaven, you alone are perfectly just in all that you do. You alone are infinitely wise, knowing the end from the beginning. As such, you always deal justly and righteously with your creatures. You alone discern the thoughts and intentions of men's hearts, and you alone know all things -- those done in the open and in secret.

The Morning Devotional: Psalm 57
Prayer: Our God in heaven, we know you to be a kind and merciful God, blessing your people with your favor due to the work of your suffering servant, the Lord Jesus Christ. We know that your Son suffered in ways that we can hardly imagine. We are too ignorant to understand the many ways he suffered for our sake fully. He was led like a sheep to be slaughtered

Psalm 56
May 13, 2026
Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;
all day long an attacker oppresses me;
2 my enemies trample on me all day long,
for many attack me proudly.

Psalm 55
May 12, 2026
Give ear to my prayer, O God,
and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy!
2 Attend to me, and answer me;
I am restless in my complaint and I moan,
3 because of the noise of the enemy,
because of the oppression of the wicked.
For they drop trouble upon me,
and in anger they bear a grudge against me.
