Daily D – Psalm 37:21-22

by David Bowman | Feb 6, 2024 | Daily D | 0 comments

Psalm 37:21, 22
The wicked person borrows and does not repay,
but the righteous one is gracious and giving.
Those who are blessed by the Lord will inherit the land,
but those cursed by him will be destroyed. (CSB)

Wicked borrows and never returns;
Righteous gives and gives.
Generous gets it all in the end;
Stingy is cut off at the pass. (MSG)

It’s impossible to read the Bible without seeing God’s generosity and without hearing his instructions for us to imitate him by living generous lives.

Live graciously.

Live generously.

Do not live foolishly. Give where giving helps, where it benefits others in a manner that honors God and blesses those who receive. Avoid careless and impulsive giving. Give thoughtfully and prayerfully.

Graced people give generously.

Graced people become ever-more gracious.

—

I will live a gracious and generous life.

—

Our Father, empower me to live like you. Give me an open-hand, a pure heart, and a prayerful disposition. Grow me in the grace of generosity. Amen.

Daily D – Isaiah 61:1-3

Isaiah 61:1-3 “The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.”

Daily D – Isaiah 60:19-22

Isaiah 60:19-22 The sun will no more be your light by day,
nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,
for the LORD will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.
Your sun will never set again,
and your moon will wane no more;
the LORD will be your everlasting light,
and your days of sorrow will end.
Then all your people will be righteous
and they will possess the land forever.
They are the shoot I have planted,
the work of my hands,
for the display of my splendor.
The least of you will become a thousand,
the smallest a mighty nation.
I am the LORD;
in its time I will do this swiftly.”

Daily D – Isaiah 55:6-7

Isaiah 55:6, 7 “Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake their ways
and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.”

Daily D – Isaiah 49:15-16

Isaiah 49:15, 16 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast

Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.”
