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 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 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 8.22.25

Our Future Hope    John 14:1–3 Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.   Scripture Reading – Psalm 84   Jesus comforts His disciples by promising them a place in His Father’s house. This assurance reminds us that no matter how unsettled or uncertain life feels, our true home is secure in Him. Psalm 84 echoes this longing: “Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.” The psalmist celebrates the joy of God’s presence, where even the sparrow finds a home. Together, these passages show us that the Christian life is not about striving to belong in this world but about resting in the promise of Christ’s eternal dwelling place. A reminder that life with Jesus starts now and lasts forever. Our hea...
