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 5.30.25

The Worthiness of His Praise   Psalm 113:1–3 Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD! Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised!    Scripture Reading: Psalm 72   Psalm 113 opens with a call for God's servants to praise Him from "this time forth and forevermore." From the rising of the sun to its setting, His name is to be praised. Psalm 72 echoes this theme, depicting a king who brings justice, prosperity, and peace — a foreshadowing of Christ. These psalms exalt God’s sovereignty and His care for the needy. His reign is eternal, and His glory fills the earth. We are reminded that praise isn’t limited to circumstances or places; it’s a daily offering from hearts awed by His majesty. Whether in joy or hardship, God remains worthy, and His name deserves praise every moment of the day.   The songs we will sing together on...
