by David Bowman | Jun 16, 2023 | Daily D | 0 comments

Psalm 19:7, 8
The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul.
The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are clear, giving insight for living. (NLT)

The directions of GOD are plain
and easy on the eyes. (MSG)

A quick trip to the airport and a flight to see our curly-haired granddaughter is an hour away. A notification from the airline says our plane left its location a few minutes early on its way here.

We need to dress, finish packing, load the car, hit the road, grab a parking shuttle, and zip through security. A short hop toward the east will follow. Our son will pick us up at the airport and our granddaughter has promised to give her grandmother a huge hug.

Crosby Stills and Nash sang a short song that became a hit back in the ‘70s. It was called, _Just A Song Before I Go_. Also before I go, I read God’s words carefully arranged for this morning and found in Psalm 19. The last line of verse 8 says,

The commands of the LORD are clear,
giving insight for living.

The Message paraphrase puts it this way:

The directions of GOD are plain
and easy on the eyes.

We need a helping handful of God’s instructions day by day. So before my buddy and I wing away, it’s good to pause for insights for living today.

What is God saying to you?

—

I will seek God’s insights for living day by day.

—

Our Father, awaken me day by day with an expectation of new learning, growth, and development. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 119:1-8

Psalm 119:1-8

“Joyful are people of integrity,
who follow the instructions of the Lord.
Joyful are those who obey his laws
and search for him with all their hearts.
They do not compromise with evil,
and they walk only in his paths.
You have charged us to keep your commandments carefully.
Oh, that my actions would consistently
reflect your decrees!
Then I will not be ashamed
when I compare my life with your commands.
As I learn your righteous regulations,
I will thank you by living as I should!
I will obey your decrees.
Please don’t give up on me!”

Daily D – 2 Kings 20:16-19

2 Kings 20:16-19 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to this message from the Lord: The time is coming when everything in your palace—all the treasures stored up by your ancestors until now—will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the Lord. Some of your very own sons will be taken away into exile. They will become eunuchs who will serve in the palace of Babylon’s king.”

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “This message you have given me from the Lord is good.” For the king was thinking, “At least there will be peace and security during my lifetime.”

Daily D – John 16:33

John 16:33 “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

Daily D – John 16:19-22

John 16:19-22 Jesus realized they wanted to ask him about it, so he said, “Are you asking yourselves what I meant? I said in a little while you won’t see me, but a little while after that you will see me again. I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy. It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anguish gives way to joy because she has brought a new baby into the world. So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.”

Daily D – John 15:12-13

John 15:12, 13 “This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
