Psalm 74:16, 17
Both day and night belong to you; 
you made the starlight and the sun. 
You set the boundaries of the earth, 
and you made both summer and winter. (NLT)

The day is yours, also the night; 
you established the moon and the sun. 
You set all the boundaries of the earth; 
you made summer and winter. (CSB)

These verses are frequently used by the creators of Lectio 365 (24-7prayer.com) in the Night Prayer guided meditation. It’s comforting to remember who God is as we lay our bodies down to sleep. He made day and night, starlight and sun. He set the boundaries of the earth and established the seasons. And we belong to him.

Daymaker is our Father in Heaven.

Dreammaker is our Creator.

Earthmaker shaped our world and adorned it with beauty.

Intervalmaker made seasons to help us mark our age.

And we belong to him.

Even now, the morning sun announces its coming with the first bluing of the eastern sky. A nearby cardinal sings its praise. 

Day and night, constellation and cloud, wave and beach, era and epoch announce God’s reality and glory. He made it all.

And we belong to him.

I rest peacefully each evening and sing with the birds each morning as I call to mind how great is our God, and that we belong to him.

Our Father, last night, I called to mind Psalm 4:8 as I made my final moves toward sleep. “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.” I awoke this morning with gratitude for deep rest and the opportunities of a new day. Lead me step by step through this day. Guide my every thought. Place your words in my mouth. Make my heart more like yours. I belong to you. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6

John 11:6 “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, . . .”
