The Goodness of God
May 19, 2024 09:00 - 8 minutes - 16.1 MBReading Psalms 91. In this Psalm, we see a picture of God as our shelter, our refuge, the safe place that we can trust in. There's also just this beautiful image of the feathers. Normally, feathers could be comforting, but they're not necessarily going to protect you from an attack like an arrow coming in. So, I kind of imagine the outside of the feathers being like armor. Jewish tradition attributes it to Moses as opposed to David believing that David added it to this book of Psalms later...
The Call of Elisha
May 15, 2024 09:00 - 10 minutes - 18.8 MBReading 1 Kings 19:19-21. Elijah throwing the cloak over Elisha’s shoulders and walking away as an act of surrender. The action spoke for itself and was a symbolic gesture of Elijah passing on his prophetic authority to Elisha. There wasn't much more for Elijah to say about it in that moment. Elisha responds with celebration. But we also see that Elisah is destroying the job that he had. It is symbolic that Elisha is done with this part in his life. He’s not going back. Four times in the s...
Return to Dust You Mortals
May 12, 2024 09:00 - 10 minutes - 19.4 MBReading Psalms 90. You see this glimpse into Moses’ heart with this psalm and his understanding of reality, it's an awareness of how precious life is how brief life is. Now that Christ has come and died on the cross, all of God's wrath was poured out onto Christ on the cross and is no longer poured out onto us. God is our refuge. God sees all the pain that we go through the trials we go through. But God also sees our hearts and the sins of our heart. We have a God who is beyond time, a God w...
The Lord Speaks to Elijah
May 08, 2024 09:00 - 16 minutes - 24.6 MBReading 1Kings 19:9-18. The Lords question, “What are you doing here?”, reminds Sally of Jesus asking the people who came to Him what they wanted Him to do for them. God gives people opportunities to share their hearts with Him. God displays His power to Elijah but speaks to Elijah through a gentle whisper, gives him encouragement and renews his mission. The Lord’s question, “What are you doing here?”, reminds Curits of when God asked Adam and Eve, “Where are you?”. Elijah was in a place o...
Disciplined By God
May 05, 2024 09:00 - 17 minutes - 28.6 MBReading Psalms 89. The Psalmist recognizes the faithfulness of God through hard discipline. Speaking about the anointed king, it says “you have renounced your covenant with him and thrown his crown in the dust.” So there's definitely this shift at the end of the Psalm where the psalmist is really feeling that separation from God and the lack of God's favor in the current circumstance. Deuteronomy 8:5-6 reads, “Think about it, just as a parent disciplines a child, the Lord your God discipli...
Something to Eat and Drink
May 01, 2024 09:00 - 16 minutes - 27.5 MBReading 1 Kings 18:41-19:9. In 1 Kings 18:16-40, we read about a dramatic showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal. This portion of scripture (verse 41) starts with Elijah telling Ahab to go get something to eat and drink for I hear a mighty rainstorm is coming and Ahab immediately goes. It’s almost as though Ahab is displaying some faith, but it’s disappointing because Ahab sides with Jezebel. Elijah knew how and when to offer a sacrifice pleasing to God because Elijah spent time ...
The Sound of Silence
April 28, 2024 09:00 - 10 minutes - 20.1 MBReading Psalms 88. The last line in the Psalm, “darkness is my closest friend”, reminds me of that old song, Sound of Silence. The psalmist is experiencing the sound of silence. He's not hearing from the Lord. Quite a few psalms in this book express times like this when they feel desperate. It still starts with remembering who God is and where its salvation comes from. When we're in this heart place, cry out to God and share that with God. The Psalmist’s questions show the need for Jesus ...
The Contest on Mount Carmel
April 24, 2024 09:00 - 19 minutes - 32.8 MBReading 1 Kings 18:16-40. We have this picture of the people of Israel who are wavering, hobbling back and forth between: Is it the Lord that is God, or is it Baal? We also have this picture of a God who hears and a God who answers, versus these idols who obviously can't do anything because they're manmade. We see that the heart of God in this contest is to bring the people back to Himself. They're wobbling, they're back and forth and He is calling them back into that relationship becaus...
Citizens
April 21, 2024 09:00 - 10 minutes - 21 MBReading Psalms 87. The imagery of foreign and oppressive nations being counted as citizens of God’s Holy city is prophetic. Reminiscent of the account in Acts 10 Peter’s vision and God telling him not to call unclean what God has made clean. Being told to kill and eat was to prepare his mind to go to the gentiles and participate in what God was doing. the place where God's name would be known where everybody would come to worship. It was the place that the Lord picked for them to come and ...
Faith Over Fear
April 17, 2024 09:00 - 12 minutes - 22.9 MBReading 1 Kings 18:1-15. The drought had been going on for three years and times had gotten desperate. King Ahab and Obadiah searching the land for the kings’ animals to have water. This is the turning point. These two servants of the Lord who are in this hard situation and responding very differently. Obadiah who did something amazing for the Lord. He risked his own life, his own position in charge of the palace. He risks it all to save 100 prophets. In that act of service, he positions h...
O Lord, You Are So Good
April 14, 2024 09:00 - 15 minutes - 26.3 MBReading Psalms 86, a psalm of David. In verse 11, “Teach me your ways. Oh Lord, that I may live according to your truth, grant me purity of heart so that I may honor you.” David is looking to God for discipleship. In verse 15, he's speaking to God's character. “Oh Lord, you are a God of compassion and mercy, slowly get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.” Exodus 34:5-7. David wanted the closeness with God Moses had. This psalm is just such a great reminder of that charac...
Elijah’s Great Faith
April 10, 2024 09:00 - 19 minutes - 28.4 MBReading 1 Kings 17 in the New Living Translation. Elijah declares that as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel lives the God. I serve, there will be no do or reign during the next few years until I give the word. Ahab had married Jezebel and they had started serving Baal who was a god who was supposed to bring the rain. God is faithful, God grows our faith and uses that growth in our life to increase the faith of others. Elijah, through his experiences, is telling her that God is a God t...
He Speaks, We Listen and Obey
April 07, 2024 09:00 - 14 minutes - 27 MBReading Psalms 85 in the New Living Translation. Start your day as the psalmist begins this psalm, with praise and worship. Being intentional with our thoughts and placing them before Jesus. To follow Jesus, we must stop talking, and listen. Verse 13, Righteousness goes as a Herald before him preparing the way for his steps. When we are in right relationship with God, He can more effectively use us for His plan. God is both loving, but He always is speaking truth. Through Jesus we have thi...
Killing to Be King
April 03, 2024 09:00 - 20 minutes - 29 MBReading 1 Kings 15:32-16:34. God gave people free will in the garden and humanity has continued to choose their own way. As people continue in this pattern we move farther and farther away for the righteous standards of God. Omri did more evil than any king before him, until his son Ahab becomes king and outdoes his father’s sins. I see this picture that God is the one who places the king in their position. But it's followed by this story of the kings just trying to fight and take over the...
Dwelling Place
March 31, 2024 08:00 - 10 minutes - 15.9 MBReading Psalms 84. Recognizing God’s goodness in life. It is in the presence of God that we experience the good life. We enter through repentance. Change perspective in the hard times back to the goodness of God. The picture of someone who wants to draw near to the LORD. The imagery of provision and protection. God’s heart is for people, and for people to experience the fullness of God’s goodness. All relationships require building trust. Jesus teaches us not to worry and instead trust God’s...
The Reign of King Asa
March 27, 2024 09:00 - 13 minutes - 21.3 MBReading 1 Kings 15:9-31. In this reading, we see a picture of two kings, one of Judah, one of Israel. Nadab who had a short-lived reign or reign of only two years compared to Asa who had a reign of 41 years. Nadab did what was evil in the Lord's sight and followed the example of his father. King Asa made a choice to follow after God. They thought they had come up with the solution they need, but nothing has changed. These idols are manmade things that are elevated instead of God. It's abo...
They Will Learn
March 24, 2024 09:00 - 9 minutes - 15.6 MBReading Psalms 83. Written around the time of the exile in the tension of war and hardship. Wanting God to destroy God’s own enemies while making themselves an enemy of God. The tension of needing the Savior to come. The call for the nation of God to realize they serve God alone. Israel was called to represent God, now disciples are called. The need for believers to remain in the Lord in the face of difficult situations, circumstances, or in the face of difficult people. To set yourself up f...
Know the Lord
March 20, 2024 09:00 - 12 minutes - 19.7 MBReading 1 Kings 15:1-8 and 2 Chronicles 13. During a Abijam's rule and the story that we read in chronicles, I see this example of how despite Abijah not being faithful, God remains faithful. Abijah was not faithful, he recognizes the promise that God had made to David. More importantly, he recognizes the difference between a living God and the man-made gods that Jeroboam had made for himself. It's in a moment of distress that Abijah starts to declare the goodness of God and the difference...
I Say You Are Gods
March 17, 2024 09:00 - 7 minutes - 11.2 MBReading Psalms 82. God sitting in judgment, calling out what's going wrong. How the people in power are judging unjustly favoring the wicked. God understands our human condition that we have neither knowledge nor understanding and walk in darkness. Jesus quotes this psalm in John 10:34 confronting the Jewish leaders who were corrupt and oppressing the people of Israel. Humans have taken this role of leadership and forgot what their true role is, is to shepherd and care and tend to the nee...
Why Are You Pretending to Be Someone Else?
March 13, 2024 09:00 - 16 minutes - 26.2 MBReading 1 Kings 14:1-31. Jeroboam recognizes that he has separated himself from God, that he's turned his back on God. He can't approach Ahijah who’s the very one who gave him the prophecy that God was going to bless him and make him king. Jeroboam was right in recognizing that his sin had separated him from the right to approach God. And it points to our need for Jesus to give us that right, to approach God, to cleanse us and make us holy before God. Twice in the book of Judges in chapte...
I Will Take the Load from Your Shoulders
March 10, 2024 10:00 - 7 minutes - 11.7 MBReading Psalms 81. A picture of how things are supposed to be. A call to celebrate the Lord, to listen to, to focus on God, to live in that good life in that abundant life that God has for us as we press into God and turn from all the worthless things in life. Remembering that God is our strength. Verse six, “I heard an unknown voice say now I will take the load from your shoulders. I will set free your hands for their heavy tasks.” Like Jesus's words in Matthew chapter 11 verses 28 and 3...
A Prophet Denounces Jeroboam
March 06, 2024 10:00 - 22 minutes - 33.2 MBReading from 1Kings 12:25-13:34. Jeroboam didn't trust God's promise to Him. He's thinking to himself about the people going to Jerusalem to worship at the temple and how they will kill him, and Rehoboam will become the king. He tries to take control of the situation himself. The human tendency to try to hold on to it for ourselves instead of seeking after God. The picture of a king who's been given a great promise, who chooses not to seek after the one who's made the promise but tries to...
Shine Upon Us
March 03, 2024 10:00 - 9 minutes - 15.3 MBPsalms written during the time of the exile are a picture of what life is like apart from God and an example for us to follow in those moments when we feel like God is far. It doesn't change the situation, but when we are in a bad situation or circumstance, we need to redirect our perspective, off of how it feels like God is far, to the goodness of God. They're asking God to listen and look down, like the sun shines down. And that repeating line reminds me of the priestly blessing from Nu...
The Northern Tribes Revolt
February 28, 2024 10:00 - 16 minutes - 24.3 MBToday’s reading is 1Kings chapter 12 verse 1 through 24. God's plan prevails, God's true to his word, and what God says will come to pass. Both David's firstborn and Solomon's firstborn follow bad advice. Because of his lack of seeking God's wisdom or God's advice in this situation, he chooses the advice that he believes will make him appear strong. Rehoboam has forgotten that his true strength come from God and to have success as king, he needs to rely on God's strength. It's a good story...
O God of Our Salvation
February 25, 2024 10:00 - 9 minutes - 14.8 MBThis Psalm describes the situation after Jerusalem's fall to the Babylonian armies in 586 BC. This was the time of Zedekiah's rule as king 2 Chronicles chapter 36, reading from verse 12. In Psalm 79 we see that the Babylonian army had come showing no mercy to the Israelites. God had done so much for Isael and they turned their back on God. all people have this tendency to lose track to get distracted, to chase after something other than God's presence, God's will, and God's word. He knows...
Solomon’s Adversaries
February 21, 2024 10:00 - 13 minutes - 19.6 MBThe picture I see in this passage is how God continues to work and be faithful to his promises while letting the consequences of our human choices play out in our future or present circumstances. I see in the scripture how we're at a point in time where God's favor is conditional upon the people's obedience, especially the king. There's that truth, that there's things that we're going to experience that aren't our fault. But what I see in this is the situations when God allows us to be ch...
Open to Instructions
February 18, 2024 10:00 - 16 minutes - 22.9 MBThe opening, “O my people listen to my instructions. Open your ears to what I am saying for. I will speak to you in a parable. I will teach you hidden lessons from our past stories we have heard and known stories our ancestors handed down to us,” screams of Jesus inn Matthew 13:34&35. we're supposed to continually go to the word reminding ourselves so that we can teach it to our Children so that it will be ingrained in them. It will be their source for answers also because it is a relation...
Solomon’s Many Wives
February 14, 2024 10:00 - 16 minutes - 22.8 MBWisdom is not a cure for pride, and it does not cure our sin nature. Even though God gave him wisdom like nobody else would have, in his mind, he still had an ‘I can handle it' sort of attitude. What God said would happen became true and Solomon’s wives turned his heart away from God. Solomon either didn't listen or he didn't think it applied to him. Wisdom does not make you immune to temptation, even Jesus was tempted. The lies of the enemy are aimed at putting doubts into the minds of pe...
Psalms 77 ~ The Path No One Knew Was There
February 11, 2024 10:00 - 9 minutes - 13.5 MBReading from Psalms 77. The picture of someone who is crying out to God. The change comes in the second part when the psalmist remembers the goodness and the greatness of God, despite their circumstance. I don't know anyone in their spiritual journey who hasn't had a moment where they felt like God was far where they felt like they were in a deep pit waiting to be rescued. I know that's been true in my life when I'm so focused on the things that are going wrong around me, my perception of...
The Queen of Sheba
February 07, 2024 10:00 - 19 minutes - 27.1 MBThis week’s passage in 1 Kings 10:1-29. Beginning with a summary of Chapter 9 to set the context before the scripture. This chapter, looking across Solomon's time as King, is showing when everything was really good. It paints this really extravagant, crazy picture. It leaves a little bit of an unsettled feeling in my heart because it just feels like too much. The main focus and point of this chapter is seeing the heart of God to bless his people, the answer to Solomon's prayer and the pro...
Psalms 76 ~ The Assyrian
February 04, 2024 10:00 - 8 minutes - 12 MBThis week’s passage is Psalms 76. This psalm is written following a victory over the enemies of Judah. Possibly written during the time of Isaiah 37:10 when the king of Assyria was threatening King Hezekiah. Hezekiah went to the LORD in his distress and the LORD delivered Judah. The truth still applies today as we can look and contrast the difference between the kings and powers of the earth and the true power and might of our living God. The victories God brings glorifies His name. The Ps...
The LORD’s Response to Solomon
January 31, 2024 10:00 - 11 minutes - 16 MBThis week’s passage is 1 Kings 8:54-9:9. The favor God would give the people of Israel was conditional on their obedience to the Law of Moses. God’s response is not all roses and flowers, the expectation of obedience is the same. God already knew the failings that would come. God sees the people’s tendency to abandon the LORD unless they remember and turn their heart’s continually towards the LORD. Israel was to represent God to the rest of the world. God was please with the Temple because ...
Psalms 75~ God Will Bring Justice
January 28, 2024 10:00 - 9 minutes - 12.9 MBReading Psalms 75. This Psalm paints the picture of the sovereignty of God. Everything worth starting is worth starting in a place of thanks and recognition of God’s presence. The contrast of people everywhere telling of God’s wonderful deeds and all He has done and giving praise, vs the picture of people raising their fists in defiance. You can spend your life praising or complaining. The psalmist is bothered by the defiance of the people. God will bring justice in God’s timing and God alon...
Solomon's Prayer of Dedication
January 24, 2024 10:00 - 18 minutes - 26.1 MBThis week’s passage is 1 Kings 8:22-53. Solomon understands that God will not be contained by a building. The purpose of the temple was to honor the name of God and give the people a place to turn to and worship the LORD. Remember how big God is and His presence within you. Solomon asking God to always forgive the people when they turn to God with their whole hearts. Solomon identifies who God is, His character and attributes. You’ve witnessed what God can do; you can trust God. Solomon ask...
God Has Not Abandoned You
January 21, 2024 10:00 - 7 minutes - 11.3 MBReading Psalms 74. The repeating theme of the Psalm where the author finds himself in a place where all is lost, needing saving, and reminding himself of all God’s goodness, faithfulness, power, and ability to rescue no matter the situation. The psalmist is calling God to remember as well as calling God to stand up for God’s own name. Jesus was always glorifying God and when God helps us, God glorifies God’s own name. The nation of Israel was supposed to represent God’s goodness and love and...
Solomon Praises the LORD
January 17, 2024 10:00 - 17 minutes - 24.4 MBThis week’s passage is 1 Kings 8:1-21. Summary of 1 Kings 4-7 to set the context. All the people of Israel are brought together for this time. In chapter 3 Solomon went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices as everyone else but David was doing, when in Deuteronomy it says everyone should gather at a place of worship God chose. Now they are all worshiping God in the place God chose. God’s presence came in a thick cloud, so thick that the priests could not continue their priestly duties. The weightin...
Psalms 73 ~ A Psalm of Asaph
January 14, 2024 10:00 - 11 minutes - 16.5 MBPsalm Sunday returns with Psalms 73. This is a relatable Psalm because we’ve all observed injustice in the world. Going into God’s presence and giving Him your troubles. God is patient and gives people opportunity to repent. Questioning inside stirs up doubt, so we are to go to God with all our thoughts so He can fill us with faith. Start the day in a place of praise and worship. We can go to God with questions in our heart and find clarity on God’s heart and how He is working. Surrender all...
