Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
The promise of the resurrection filled the psalmist with hope, and it should do the same for us. Because Jesus is alive now, we too will be raised to life. That thought should buoy us on tough days. When we lose a loved one, whose faith was rooted in God’s redeeming love, we can rest assured our farewell is not forever. We will see them again at the resurrection.
LORD God, thank you for the promise of resurrection. Thank you for the hope we have in Jesus. Through Jesus’ shed blood we have redemption, and the forgiveness that makes resurrection possible. Hallelujah! Amen.

Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
Our enemies don't all strut about on two legs. Some of them creep into our lives in more subtle forms like discouragement, depression, dementia, and disease. These are the more common enemies that conspire against us. When they gain the upper hand, our golden years lose their luster. Against this backdrop the psalmist is defiant. He takes his stand. As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more… (Ps. 71:14).
LORD God, thank you for your presence with me since my youth. Continue to fill my life with joy, meaning and purpose. Day by day, be my help and strength until I see you face to face. Amen.

Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
In the shifting circumstances of life, it is essential that we have those things that remain solid and unwavering. From our childhood onward we need a rock of refuge from the storms of life—a rock to which we can always go in good times and bad. How has the Lord been a solid rock for you? When has God been your fortress?
LORD God, thank you for being my solid rock. Your faithfulness has steadied me in stormy times. You have been my help and strength, my shelter and fortress. Amen.

Here is today's excerpt from "James the Lynchpin of Our Faith": James has decisively sided with Peter and Paul on this critical issue. The gospel of grace as opposed to Jewish legalism has triumphed. A certain tension will remain between the proponents of grace and the proponents of legalism. It is a tension that remains in some form between legalistically-inclined and grace-centered believers to this day. Nevertheless, the message is clear: James has ruled in favor of grace.

James has decisively sided with Peter and Paul on this critical issue. The gospel of grace as opposed to Jewish legalism has triumphed.

Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3) Are you poor in spirit? How do we remain that way in spirit even when we are blessed financially or in other ways?
LORD God, I don’t want to live the life of the self-satisfied. You are my treasure and my very great reward. I am needy—in constant need of you. Come quickly to me, O God. Amen.

Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3). Some poverty and humility of spirit might be fitting for me as well. How about you?

Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
Often, I would rather wallow in my difficulties and coddle my discomforts. But the LORD calls us to live on a higher plane. It takes praise, thanksgiving, and a song in our heart to lift us to that higher level. But before the song comes and the praise begins to flow, we determine our response. We must decide. We have a "but-as-for-me, I will praise the LORD" moment.
LORD God, in my difficulties I praise you. This pain-prone human flesh praises you. Thank you for this life you have given me. Your goodness and mercy never end. Amen.

Despite opposition from our flesh, despite the doubts and misgivings of our peers, we determine that God is worthy of our praise. He is the God of the afflicted—not just the God of the feel-good se…

Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
Today's reading from Psalm 69 asks, "When our time of testing comes will we stand true to the Lord? Are there times when you have failed to take a stand for the Lord? Has fear hindered you? How have you stood true, aligning yourself with Jesus?
Lord Jesus, you suffered rejection on my behalf. Help me be faithful to you when the world mocks you. Help me stand true. Give me courage through the power of your Holy Spirit. Amen.

Are there times when you have failed to take a stand for the Lord? Has fear hindered you? How have you stood true, aligning yourself with Jesus?

Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
There’s one thing I know about God. He is not my heavenly bellhop. But amazing things happen in the time of God’s favor. So, like David, I’ll call out to Him. I’ll wait for Him. He is well worth waiting for, because when the LORD shows up everything changes. I change. The world changes.
LORD God, favor me. Show up in your perfect timing. I need you now. I need you always. You know best. Teach me patience and grant me peace. Answer me with your sure salvation. Amen.

Today's Devotion from Psalms 365
Jesus calls for a radical transformation in the lives of his followers. Are you a disciple, or are you following at a distance? His words are an open challenge to everyone. After Jesus cleansed the temple, his disciples recalled the words of this psalm. His disciples remembered it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me” (John 2:17).
LORD God, give me a zeal for your house and your presence. As the months and years roll by, I want my values to be reflected in my actions and my passion for you. Replace my lukewarm heart with a burning desire to know and love you. Amen.

Jesus called for zeal from his disciples. He calls for a radical transformation in the lives of his followers. Are you a disciple, or are you following at a distance? His words are an open challeng…

Here is today's excerpt from "James the Lynchpin of Our Faith": There can be little doubt that James is viewed as the head of the church by all those present at the Jerusalem Council. He fulfills the role of chief executive officer. How do we know this? He has the undisputed final word on this crucial matter of faith, practice, and doctrine.
