The Red Sea and Jordan River?

The Red Sea and Jordan River?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know God led his chosen people through the Red Sea and the River Jordan. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A sign reads “Jordan River” at the entrnace to Bethany-Beyond-the-Jordan, a popular tourist site where people can visit the Jordanian side of the Jordan River.

When faced with the everyday challenges, how often do most people think of how mighty God is. If he can part the Red Sea and make the Jordan River passable, we should never underestimate what he is able to do.

Psalm 66:5-7 (ESV) beckons one to recall God’s power and to rejoice.

“Come and see what God has done:
he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
He turned the sea into dry land;
they passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him,
who rules by his might forever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations—
let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

Imagine what it would have been like to be with those who walked through the Red Sea or the Jordan River. How awesome are God’s deeds. Indeed!

Filled with Righteousness?

Filled with Righteousness?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know God’s right hand is filled with righteousness. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The notes for Psalm 48:9-11 in the English Standard Version explain, “Such reflections on God’s judgments, which display his righteousness (i.e. convent faithfulness), should lead the daughters (i.e. towns and villages) of Judah to rejoice.”

Psalm 48:9-11 (ESV) tells us of God’s love, righteousness, and rejoicing:

“We have thought on your steadfast love, O God,
in the midst of your temple.
As your name, O God,
so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
Let Mount Zion be glad!
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice
because of your judgments!”

Imagine whole towns and villages rejoicing and praising God. Expect revival. Contribute by sharing about Jesus. Pray for the right person who will be willing to hear and for the right words to say.

Take Refuge and Rejoice?

Take Refuge and Rejoice?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who take refuge in you and rejoice. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The psalmist urges rejoicing for those who find sanctuary in the Lord’s protection. The words of Psalm 5:11-12 (ESV) offer hope:

“But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them ever sing for joy,
and spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may exult in you.
For you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you cover him with favor as with a shield.”

These verses describes God’s protection and combine it with singing and honoring God. Do likewise.
