Daily D – Psalm 30:4-5

by David Bowman | Jul 3, 2024 | Daily D | 0 comments

Psalm 30:4, 5
“Sing to the Lord, you his faithful ones,
and praise his holy name.
For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor, a lifetime.
Weeping may stay overnight,
but there is joy in the morning.” (CSB)

Sometimes a good and timely reminder is in order. If you are a follower of Jesus, your story ends in glory.

Why can a canary sing songs in the night? He knows he is loved.

Why can you and I persevere through seemingly endless pain and adversity? We know the end of the story.

Once upon a time, someone attempted to write a better ending than the one Christ-followers share. It was a failure. A Christian’s death, like our savior’s, ends with resurrection, ascension, and the immediate presence of God forever.

Heat getting hotter?

Work getting harder?

Relationships getting more complicated?

You are permitted a knowing smile. You are bound for the tearless land of peace and joy, and love that endures forever.

Consider yourself reminded.

I will remind myself and others of what lies beyond all of our discomfort.

Our Father, a preacher once said that, for the Christian, this world is the only hell we will ever know. For those who do not know Jesus, this world is the only heaven they will ever know. My desire is for everyone everywhere to leave this world bound only for your presence. May hell’s habitations remain as empty as possible. Give us the perspective we need for the problems of this and all of our days. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 113:3

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-5

Psalm 112:4, 5
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

Daily D – Isaiah 1:18

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Daily D – 2 Kings 25:27-30

2 Kings 25:27-30 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.
