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.1.5.25

Devotional on   Ephesians 2:4–7, Psalm 51 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus  (Eph. 2:4-7) .   This Sunday we will gather for the first time of this New Year, 2025 and will be returning to our sermon series  Psalms: Heart, Soul, and Mind , beginning with Psalm 51. The New Year brings an opportunity for new beginnings, new goals, and a sense of a fresh start. Psalm 51 is a great chapter to focus on in the beginning of a new year because it is a prayer of repentance, confession, and praise. David, having been convicted of his sin with Bathsheba, pours out his heart to God, asking for forgiveness and mercy. He recognizes...

Devotional. 1.10.25

  Devotional on  Hebrews 3:1-3, Psalm 52   Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,   2  who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house.   3  For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself.    This Sunday we will continue in our sermon series  Psalms: Heart, Soul, and Mind  with Psalm 52. As I was reading this psalm, with the lyrics of our morning worship songs playing in my head, I was struck by the awareness of choice. David is writing during a very difficult and dangerous time, and yet chooses worship instead of despair.    God gave us the gift of free will, the ability to make choices and to have discernment. Many of us have started 2025 with goals, or resolutions. How are...

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...
