Daily D – Psalm 57:2

Psalm 57:2 ”I call to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.“ (CSB)

—

The moon arose last night in all its golden glory. The Snow Moon is the farthest away from Earth of any of the full moons this year due to the timing of its orbit. Even so, it puts on quite a show.

Even the most distant moon has a purpose. The smallest full moon of the year reflects God’s glory with beauty and wonder.

Moons do not bear their own flame. They do not create their own light. Yet this small full moon, so rich in color, so elegant in its glide path across the sky, says more than its size can contain. “The heavens declare the glory of God,” (Psalm 19:1).

God has a purpose for even the smallest moon. God has a purpose for you. Seek his path and his provision. Hide in him for protection. Call on him when others would trample you. God will send his faithful love and truth (verse 3).

Pray with our emotional kindred of ages past in these words of David:

”God, be exalted above the heavens; let your glory be over the whole earth.“
(Verse 5)

David declares he will awaken the dawn with his song of praise (verses 7 and 8). Why does he sing? Why can we? Verse 10 says,

”For your faithful love is as high as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches the clouds.“

The Snow Moon wanes. The sun arises with its increasing brightness and warmth. The whole earth is charmed and warmed by God’s gifts of light.

David’s bottom line reminds us to enjoy the show and to remember the one who places all things where they belong to brighten all of heaven while accomplishing his purposes.

”God, be exalted above the heavens; let your glory be over the whole earth.“
(Verse 11)

—

I will awaken the dawn with my song of praise.

Our Father, for small moons and hot suns, we give you praise. You illuminate our nights and our days. You wrap us in your light and warm us with your love. Lead us into full expression of your purpose for our lives today. May we reflect your glory everywhere we go and in all we do. Amen.

Daily D – Deuteronomy 30:19-20

Deuteronomy 30:19, 20 “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 29:29

Deuteronomy 29:29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 26:16-19

Deuteronomy 26:16-19 “The Lord your God commands you this day to follow these decrees and laws; carefully observe them with all your heart and with all your soul. You have declared this day that the Lord is your God and that you will walk in obedience to him, that you will keep his decrees, commands and laws—that you will listen to him. And the Lord has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands. He has declared that he will set you in praise, fame and honor high above all the nations he has made and that you will be a people holy to the Lord your God, as he promised.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 23:4-5

Deuteronomy 23:4, 5 “For they did not come to meet you with bread and water on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim to pronounce a curse on you. However, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 17:16-20

Deuteronomy 17:16-20 The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the Lord has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.” He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold.

When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. It is to be with him, and **he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left.** Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.
