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 – Mark 9:33-37

Mark 9:33-37 They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” But they were silent, because on the way they had been arguing with one another about who was the greatest. Sitting down, he called the Twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last and servant of all.” He took a child, had him stand among them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, “Whoever welcomes one little child such as this in my name welcomes me. And whoever welcomes me does not welcome me, but him who sent me.”

Daily D – Mark 3:1-6

Mark 3:1-6 Jesus entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a shriveled hand. In order to accuse him, they were watching him closely to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath. He told the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand before us.” Then he said to them, “Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. After looking around at them with anger, he was grieved at the hardness of their hearts and told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. Immediately the Pharisees went out and started plotting with the Herodians against him, how they might kill him.

Daily D – Mark 2:1-5

Mark 2:1-5 When he entered Capernaum again after some days, it was reported that he was at home. So many people gathered together that there was no more room, not even in the doorway, and he was speaking the word to them. They came to him bringing a paralytic, carried by four of them. Since they were not able to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and after digging through it, they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
