Devotional 7.4.25



Remember and Rejoice

 

Psalm 105:1–2

Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name;

make known his deeds among the peoples!

Sing to him, sing praises to him;

tell of all his wondrous works!

 

Scripture Reading – Psalm 77

 

Psalm 105:1–2 calls us to give thanks, call on God’s name, and make His deeds known. In Psalm 77, the psalmist wrestles with distress, but finds peace by remembering God’s mighty works. When we face doubt, fear, or weariness, worship and remembrance shift our hearts. We are called not only to recall God’s faithfulness but to proclaim it with our voices. Praising God in the storm isn’t denying hardship—it’s declaring truth in the midst of it. Worship reminds our souls who God is, what He’s done, and what He promises still to do.

 

Each of these songs helps us live out Psalm 105. Come, Christians, Join to Sing invites joyful, communal praise, lifting our eyes to God together. Thank You Jesus for the Blood centers us in gospel gratitude, reminding us of the cross and the cost of our salvation. Before the Throne of God Above grounds us in assurance—Jesus intercedes for us, and no condemnation remains. Whom Shall I Fear emboldens us to trust that the God of angel armies is always by our side. These songs don’t just echo truth—they help us remember, rejoice, and respond to the God who has done great things.                              

Further reading: Psalm 103:1–5; Isaiah 12:1–6; Philippians 4:4–7

Reflection Questions:

  1. What are some of God’s works you’ve witnessed or experienced that you can thank Him for today?
  2. How can worship and song help shift your focus from fear or struggle to faith and confidence?

 

Prayer: Father, I thank You for all You’ve done and all You are doing. When I feel discouraged or forgetful, help me to recall Your faithfulness and speak of it boldly. Fill my heart with songs of praise—not just in good times but in trials too. Let worship be my weapon, remembrance my strength, and Your presence my peace. Teach me to declare Your greatness with joy and hope. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Devotional 5.16.25

Yours, O Lord, Is the Kingdom   1 Chronicles 29:10-11 Blessed are you, O LORD, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.   Scripture Reading: Psalm 70   Psalm 70 is a cry for urgent help: “Make haste, O God, to deliver me!” In contrast, 1 Chronicles 29 declares God’s eternal rule, power, and glory. Together, they reveal two essential truths of faith: God is both near to the needy and exalted above all. We pray for deliverance while praising His unshakable sovereignty. David, in his final prayer, praised the Lord not for personal blessing, but for God’s eternal kingship and majesty. When we feel weak and desperate like the psalmist, we look up and remember the greatness of our God and His amazing love demonstrated in sending Jesus Christ (John 3:16; R...

Devotional 7.11.25

July 11, 2025 – Tell The Story Matthew 28:18-20:  And Jesus came and said to them,  “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.   Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,   teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”   Scripture Reading – Psalm 78   What’s your story? What is God’s redemptive story? Do those intersect for you? This week is a good time to reflect on those questions. The writer of Psalm 78 is recounting the lessons from Israel’s past. Asaph is doing this to remind them of who God is, the mighty and faithful acts he’s done, and that Israel (the tribe of Judah, v. 68) are God’s chosen people. The psalmist’s desire is that they not only repent of their sin and unbelief (v. 32), but that their transformation and turning back to...

Devotional 4.25.25

Grace Received, Grace Shared Ephesians 2:8–10 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.   Scripture Reading: Psalm 66   Ephesians 2:8–10 reminds us that our salvation is purely a gift of grace—not earned, but given, so that no one may boast. We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to live lives of purpose, filled with good works prepared by Him. Psalm 67 echoes this theme, celebrating God’s mercy and blessing so that His ways may be known throughout the earth. As we come to the Lord’s Table on Sunday, we remember we are saved by grace and sent by grace. Communion is not just a remembrance of Christ’s death—it’s also a recommissioning to live out the grace we've received, that all nations might rejoice in God’s saving power through our ...
