by David Bowman | Feb 3, 2026 | Daily D | 0 comments

Psalm 37:5, 6
“Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.”
(NIV)

“Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him, and he will help you.
He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.”
(NLT)

“Open up before GOD, keep nothing back;
he’ll do whatever needs to be done:
He’ll validate your life in the clear light of day
and stamp you with approval at high noon.”
(MSG)

The Marines are looking for a few good men, as the old advertisement says. God is looking for people who know him, love him, trust him, and follow his directions to the good life.

This psalm is best known for the verse before those above:

“Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

When we love what God loves, when we want for ourselves what God wants for us, God says Yes! Because this is God’s disposition toward all who seek to know and love him, he extends his grace beyond what we could reasonably expect. King David adds verses 5 and 6 to expand our horizons of understanding:

“Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.”

God will make your good example shine before others. When you are slandered or mistreated, he himself will vindicate you and declare your righteousness.

The Good Life, life shaped by God’s instructions and promises, and lived with integrity and character by us, is exemplary. It is worth displaying. These kinds of lives help others know how to live. They are the proof of God’s purpose.

God wants you to live in such a manner that he can use your humility and generosity as evidence of his amazing grace.

Take a moment and commit your way to God today. Let him know you will trust him in all things and for all things. Allow him to blow his refreshing breeze through your life to renew others. This could be your best day in a long time, maybe even your best day yet.

I will commit my way to God.

Our Father, here I am. Take my life and lead me. Fill my mind with your thoughts, my heart with your compassion, my hands with readiness to serve, and my feet with eagerness to go wherever you send. I belong to you. Amen.

Daily D – Leviticus 8:23-26

Leviticus 8:23-26 The LORD said to Moses, “This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more shall come to take part in the work at the tent of meeting, but at the age of fifty, they must retire from their regular service and work no longer. They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the tent of meeting, but they themselves must not do the work. This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites.”

Daily D – Psalm 40:1-3

Psalm 40:1-3

“I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the LORD
and put their trust in him.”

Daily D – Leviticus 26:3-13

Leviticus 26:3-13 “‘If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit. Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.

“ ‘I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove wild beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

“ ‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new. I will put my dwelling place among you, and I will not abhor you. I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high.”

Daily D – Leviticus 18:1-5

Leviticus 18:1-5 The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘I am the Lord your God. You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the Lord your God. Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. I am the Lord.”
