Daily D – Psalm 57:2

Psalm 57:2 ”I call to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.“ (CSB)

—

The moon arose last night in all its golden glory. The Snow Moon is the farthest away from Earth of any of the full moons this year due to the timing of its orbit. Even so, it puts on quite a show.

Even the most distant moon has a purpose. The smallest full moon of the year reflects God’s glory with beauty and wonder.

Moons do not bear their own flame. They do not create their own light. Yet this small full moon, so rich in color, so elegant in its glide path across the sky, says more than its size can contain. “The heavens declare the glory of God,” (Psalm 19:1).

God has a purpose for even the smallest moon. God has a purpose for you. Seek his path and his provision. Hide in him for protection. Call on him when others would trample you. God will send his faithful love and truth (verse 3).

Pray with our emotional kindred of ages past in these words of David:

”God, be exalted above the heavens; let your glory be over the whole earth.“
(Verse 5)

David declares he will awaken the dawn with his song of praise (verses 7 and 8). Why does he sing? Why can we? Verse 10 says,

”For your faithful love is as high as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches the clouds.“

The Snow Moon wanes. The sun arises with its increasing brightness and warmth. The whole earth is charmed and warmed by God’s gifts of light.

David’s bottom line reminds us to enjoy the show and to remember the one who places all things where they belong to brighten all of heaven while accomplishing his purposes.

”God, be exalted above the heavens; let your glory be over the whole earth.“
(Verse 11)

—

I will awaken the dawn with my song of praise.

Our Father, for small moons and hot suns, we give you praise. You illuminate our nights and our days. You wrap us in your light and warm us with your love. Lead us into full expression of your purpose for our lives today. May we reflect your glory everywhere we go and in all we do. 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.
