Scripture Reading: Psalm 124:1-8

This psalm of David shows how the Lord came through for them when enemies sought to destroy them.
Note: This series is designed to inspire you to read at least a chapter of the Bible daily. The King James Version is used for references. Happy reading!

Verses 1-5
David has been through a lot and has also seen how even the most dependable ally failed at times when they were desperately needed. He has seen disappointment from men and knew very well that only the Lord has shown Himself as dependable and trustworthy; when He promises, He never fails, and when we call on Him, He answers with the speed of light. David and the children of Israel were put in a very tight corner by their adversaries with no hope whatsoever for a saviour, but when they called upon the name of the God who never fails, he came through and saved them. So joyful for the redemption of the Lord, He sang this song as seen in verses 1-5, “If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: then they had swallowed us up quick, When their wrath was kindled against us: then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: Then the proud waters, had gone over our soul.” This is a sincere confession from a man who has experienced the ferocious attacks of the wicked and the mercies of the Lord; he has both seen his friends fail him when they are needed most and has seen the Lord show up for him in just a twinkle of an eye, and as such has come to conclude that if not for the Lord they would all been destroyed by the wicked. Trust in the Lord, for it is only Him that will save you in difficult times. See Prov. 3:5-6, Psalms 56:3, Isaiah 26:3.

Verses 6-8
David was full of praise to the Lord for the way He delivered them from the snares laid by the enemy for them. He understood that sincerely, the Lord needs to be praised for not turning them over to the wicked even when it was obvious that they had betrayed the Lord. So he said in verses 6-8, “Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth”. It is good to bless the name of the Lord for what He has done, but of greater importance is to list those miracles He performed for you so that others who may be in similar conditions will see them and have the faith that He who did these miracles will do the same for them. See Daniel 4:2-3, Psalm 96:3, Psalm 111:4-5, 118:8-12, Isaiah 63:7. These bible passages all lend their voices to the statement above. Tell of the goodness of the Lord towards amongst the nations so that they will see and fear our God.
Shalom, and God bless you!

Day 236, August 24, 2026
Scripture Reading: Psalm 123:1-4

This psalm is the second shortest chapter of the Psalms, and it contains David’s prayer for help from the Lord over the enemies bent on destroying him.
Note: This series is designed to inspire you to read at least a chapter of the Bible daily. The King James Version is used for references. Happy reading!

Verses 1-2
The conditions around David as a result of the continuous troubles suffered in the hands of the wicked who use every opportunity to mock, denigrate, demean and humiliate are not something anyone can wish even his worst enemy. The wicked will stop at nothing in their bid to make the anointed of the Father a laughing stock; as such, David had no choice but to call upon our God to show up for him without hesitation. Verses 1-2 captured his prayer like this: Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us”. In times of trouble, pain, and sorrow, who you look up to matters a lot and goes a long way toward determining what becomes of us. The book of Jeremiah 33:3 has already assured us that the Lord will answer us whenever we call upon Him, so why don’t we look up to Him rather than running from pillar to post, yet none to help? It is common knowledge that servants and workers alike always look to their masters/bosses for help and correctly so. So if the Lord is your master, you are expected to look up to Him for help. Remember, Psalms 121.

Verses 3-4
With no other help available, David cried unto the Lord for mercy because of the relentless pain suffered from the attacks of the wicked. He said in verses 3-4, “Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud”. You may not understand the plight of David and the Israelites until you taste the level of humiliation and pains they passed through in the hands of the wicked. The wicked will leave no stone unturned in their bid to do wickedly and make a mess of the righteous. I pray that you don’t fall into their net in the name of Jesus Christ, amen, but if you do, the only thing that can save you is the mercy of the Father, so always ask for His mercy, which has been made readily available for all, and you will receive it today.
Shalom, and God bless you!

Day 235, August 23, 2026
Scripture Reading: Psalm 122:1-8

In this psalm, David expresses the joy that filled his heart when he went to the house of the Lord and his prayer for the peace of Jerusalem. Going to the house of the Lord is a thing of joy for all lovers of the Father.
Note: This series is designed to inspire you to read at least a chapter of the Bible daily. The King James Version is used for references. Happy reading.

Verses 1-5
Going to the house of the Lord is a thing of joy for all lovers of the Father, David inclusive; hence he said, “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD”. Did you hear that! Were you glad when you went to the house of the Lord, or did you go there to make up the numbers or please someone? For David, going to worship the Father in His temple is one of the most joyful things, hence his statement. In verses 2-4, he says that Jerusalem is the place where all Israel go to worship and give thanks to the Father for all He has done and for His mercies that endure forever. He also acknowledged that Jerusalem is the city the Lord has chosen for the throne of David and the seat of government. See 2 Sam. 5:7, Isaiah 33:20-21. It is from this city that instructions and commandments will go out to the entire people. See Isaiah 2:3.

Verses 6-9
David could not hide his admiration and concern for the city, and he implored all to pray for the peace and prosperity of this great city, as was captured in verses 6-9, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Because of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek thy good. David encouraged us all to pray that peace shall reign in Jerusalem. Our God is a God of peace; therefore, it is expected that His city shall be a city of peace, and anyone who prays for that shall prosper in what he does and enjoy peace himself. Don’t fail to pray for the peace of the city of the living God if you want to have peace within your cities. Remember, “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” Matt. 7:12. A closer look at what is written in verse 9 will reveal the driving force behind David’s decision to do everything possible for the good of Jerusalem. It says, “Because of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek thy good”. If the name of the Lord is involved, do it for His name’s sake and don’t give excuses. Don’t just do things without a reason; make sure to find a reason, and you will be surprised how you will be motivated to do great things in that regard. Remember, no one gives to the Lord without getting rewarded! See 1 Sam. 2:20.
Shalom, and God bless you!

Day 233, August 21, 2026
Scripture Reading: Psalm 120:1-8

This Psalm is a request from David for the Lord to relieve him from the wicked.
Note: This series is designed to help you read at least a chapter of the Bible daily. We use the New King James Version for references. Happy reading!

Verses 1-4
He began this chapter by acknowledging that he called upon the name of the Lord in times of trouble, pain, and sorrow, and He came through for him just when he needed it. This is proof that our God is a prayer-answering God and that what was written in the book of Jeremiah 33:3 is not to be taken for granted.
In verses 2-7, he describes his experience in the midst of false brethren and the betrayals he suffered in the process, he asked for deliverance from the Lord. He said in verse 2, “Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue.” The two groups of persons mentioned in the above chapter are the most dangerous groups to deal with because you won't know how to go about dealing with them and you won't know how to deal with them or what to do with them hence his request fo help from the Lord. Ask Him today and He will deliver you. David was so worried about the turn of events that he queried in verses 3-4 and said, “What shall be given to you, Or what shall be done to you, You false tongue? Sharp arrows of the warrior, With coals of the broom tree!”
Sometimes one may just wonder what the enemies actually wanted because of the way they go about their activities just to harm the righteous. The kind of accusations they lay against the righteous can be mind-boggling and insensible or nonsensical. It leaves no stone unturned in its bid to bring down the wicked and you will not be an exception.

Verses 5-7
Looking at his present condition and predicament, David came to the conclusion that he was in the wrong place and amongst the worst group of people one may think of. So he said in verses 5-7, “Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar! My soul has dwelt too long With one who hates peace. I am for peace; But when I speak, they are for war.”
‭David is a man of peace and one who loves peace, so he wondered how he got himself to dwell in their midst because they don't agree. The Bible says, “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” ‭‭Amos‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. How can you dwell in the midst of a people who you have no similarity? It is either you influence them or they swallow you up. You can ask brother Lot about his experience in S***m and Gomorrah in Genesis 19:1-38. The statement of King David is akin to what the Bible said in Isaiah 6:5, “So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.”
One of the hardest things to do is to dwell in the midst of strange people. They will do all to take you out of circulation either spiritually or physically, be careful. Your location has a lot to do with it. If you are a peaceful person what will you be doing in the midst of violent ones or a sincere person living in the midst of liars? It does not make sense to me because a little leaven, leavens the whole lump, if you don't leave their midst, they will one day choke you to death. The Bible says, “And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plague”
Being in the midst of the sinful and abominable exposes you to the danger of destruction from the wrath of God also. Be careful

Shalom, and God bless you!

Day 231, August 19, 2026
Scripture Reading: Psalm 118:1-29

In this chapter, David praised the Lord for His everlasting mercy! He encouraged all the people of Israel and, most especially, the house of Aaron and those who have experienced His mercy to praise Him.
Note: This series is designed to inspire you to read at least a chapter of the Bible daily. The New King James Version is used for references. Happy reading!

Verses 1-4
Here, as it was in other places, David enjoined everyone to praise the Lord for His mercies upon the people and most especially the children of Israel, the house of Aaron and all those who fear the Lord. Verses 1-4 captured it thus: “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Let Israel now say, “His mercy endures forever.” Let the house of Aaron now say, “His mercy endures forever.” Let those who fear the Lord now say, “His mercy endures forever.” I have said it on different occasions that anyone who has seen the mercies of the Father is indebted to praise Him always. Praise Him continually for His never-ending mercies upon you and your household; Praise Him, all who have experienced His mercies and loving kindness.

Verses 5-7
He went on to show reasons why the Lord must be praised from verses 5-7, “I called on the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? The Lord is for me among those who help me; therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me.” Did you hear that! Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord with all his heart will find Him, and when you have found Him, it is expected of you to SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION BY SHOWERING PRAISES ON HIS HOLY NAME JUST AS DAVID SHOWED US HERE. He also drew our attention to something outstanding and of great interest, as seen in verse 6, where he said, “The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Why are you afraid of a mortal man who cannot do you anything as long as you are on good terms with your Father? Remember, He said in Isaiah 54:17, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.” So do not be afraid of anyone or anything, dear!

Verses 8-13
In verses 8-13, David, from his experiences, showed us how better it is to trust in God than in mortal man. He cited examples of how he put his confidence in men, but they all failed him; when he called upon the Lord, He showed up and saved him from death. Why not borrow a leaf from men who have seen it all, like David, Abraham, Moses, Samuel, Samson, Zachariah, etc. None of these men suffered shame or disgrace for trusting in the Lord, and even when it seems they are primed for defeat, the Lord showed up and saved them. See Judges 16:26-30, Luke 1:5-17. The enemies may all gather against you to swallow you, but the Lord will always show up in time to save you, so don’t panic but trust Him confidently. Verses 8-13 said, “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. All nations surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them. They surrounded me, Yes, they surrounded me; But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them. They surrounded me like bees; they were quenched like a fire of thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them. You pushed me violently, that I might fall, but the Lord helped me”. Say this to all who are bent on seeing your downfall and poised to exterminate you. You can be bent on taking me out of circulation, but only the Father can decide what happens because even my hairs are counted by Him. See Luke 12:7. Remember, the bible says in the book of Isaiah 59:19, “So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift a standard against him”

Verses 14-16
Unwilling to take a break, David continued in verses 14-16 to show how powerfully and graciously the Lord dealt with him, saying, “The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the Lord does valiantly. The right hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord does valiantly”. The Lord will always put smiles on the faces of those who trusted Him with all their hearts, no matter how dark the days are or how dreary the night becomes; He will save us all. Just put your confidence in Him and do not look back. See Exodus 15.

Verses 17-18
Now filled with confidence, He declared that no matter what the enemy will do, he said in verse 17, “I shall live and not die”. This is a conviction that comes from a deep understanding of the word of the Lord, not just a mere expression as some do on many occasions to escape certain things. The life of the righteous is in the hands of the Father and not in anyone’s, so no one can take it unless sanctioned by the Lord. See Matthew 10:30. This is our confidence in the Lord! The Last part of that verse 17 reads, “And declare the works of the Lord”. Everyone the Father has kept alive in the land of the living is for a reason. It is that you may declare His goodness amongst the nations of the earth and not for your own inordinate ambitions and selfish reasons. See Psalm 96:3, 1 Chron. 16:24-36. In verse 18, He noted that even though he had gone through many near-death experiences, the Lord has shown Him mercy, and the same shall be your testimony in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Verses 19-24
Having received the needed help, David vowed to praise the Lord who has opened the gates of His tabernacle to him and for becoming his salvation, as seen in verses 19-21. He admitted that even though everyone rejected him because of his travail in the past, when the Lord restored him, he became the chief amongst his people. These were his exact words as captured in verses 22-23: “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord’s doing; It is marvellous in our eyes”. What a profound statement that has gained traction amongst believers and unbelievers alike. Men may reject you, but if the Lord accepts you, your case is settled, because He will not only lift you, He will make you the envy of all. Imagine the case of David, that his own family rejected and refused to even invite him to a feast organised in the honour of a priest, prophet and ex-president of Israel, yet the same was made the king of Israel before the very people who rejected him, to the utter disappointment of those who made themselves a GOD. See 1 Sam. 16. This was the same case with that of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who was rejected by the people He sent to save, and they killed Him, but He arose from the dead to become the King and Saviour of all, even the King of kings and the Lord of lords. See Romans 1:4, 1 Cor. 15:4, 20-28. In the same way, the men who rejected you for their selfish ends will one day see you become the chief amongst them when the Lord has finished His work in you. Rejoice now for the day the Lord appointed for you is here. HalleluYah!

Verses 25-29
He went on to pray for both the salvation of the Lord and prosperity upon his life in verse 25 before going prophetic to speak about the coming King (Jesus Christ). He peeped into the future and made some prophetic utterances about what was later referred to as the triumphant entry of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He said in verses 26-27, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! We have blessed you from the house of the Lord. God is the Lord, and He has given us light; Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar”. Jesus is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, as was confirmed in the book of Matt. 21:9, Mark 11:6-10. See also Luke 13:35, 19:38.
With overflowing joy for all the Lord has done for Him, David said in verses 28-29, “You are my God, and I will praise You; You are my God, I will exalt You. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever”. Did you hear that! Praise the Father in return for His mercies and for saving you with His right hand of righteousness. Give thanks to Him for all His goodness and do not keep silent; open your mouth in the midst of the people and tell of His lovingkindness towards you, and He will bless you the more.
Shalom, and God bless you!
