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 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 ...
