Who Is The Cornerstone?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know the stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Act 4:11 (ESV) tells us, “This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.”

The verse in Acts refers back to Psalm 118: 22-23 (ESV). It is followed by a verse of affirmation.

“The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
This is the Lord’s doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.”

Recognize Jesus for he is. Although he was rejected and died on the cross, he was resurrected and now sits at the right hand of God the Father.

Songs of Salvation?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who sing glad songs of salvation. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Sing of redemption and deliverance. God can do amazing things.

The word “valiantly” in the following verses has many synonyms including bravely, courageously, fearlessly, and nobly.

Psalm 118:14-16 (ESV) is about song, salvation, and the right hand of the Lord.

“The Lord is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.
Glad songs of salvation
are in the tents of the righteous:
‘The right hand of the Lord does valiantly,
the right hand of the Lord exalts,
the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!’”

When a crisis comes, it may be time to pull out a hymnal and start to sing. Or rely on your musical memory. So praise and sing glad songs.

What Can Man Do To Me?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who say, “I will not fear. What can man do to me?” In Jesus’ name, amen.

Fear can paralyze a person to inaction. Fear can also keep a person awake at night. Anyone can go through a season of panic and anxiety.

The cure for these things is God’s word where it says, “The Lord is on my side.”

Psalm 118:5-9 (ESV) explains that God can answer us personally and set us free.

“Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
the Lord answered me and set me free.
The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
The Lord is on my side as my helper;
I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in man.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.”

Where is it you go when you need to take refuge from panic and anxiety? Where it you run when afraid? The answer to both is these questions is to trust in the Lord and realize he is on your side.

Me? A Servant?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who declare, “I am your servant.” In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Jesus, when he was at the Last Supper, washed the disciples’ feet. He took on the role of a servant.

Psalm 116:16-19 (ESV) offers an example of a person who is so grateful to God for all he has done to loose his bonds, he becomes subservient.

“O Lord, I am your servant;
I am your servant, the son of your maidservant.
You have loosed my bonds.
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people,
in the courts of the house of the Lord,
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord!”

Do you serve others? Are you willing to become subservient to God? Think of your daily activity as service, doing everything as unto God.
