Hallelujah. What a great God. Today’s Psalm readings focus upon the goodness of God and the blessings of trusting and following Him. Jehovah alone is the righteous Judge, rewarding the faithful and punishing the wicked. In His time, He will bring it to pass.
What a blessing it is to belong to the Lord.
Because of God’s great mercy, redeeming us at His own cost, we can stand confidently before Him. Can we ever comprehend the boundless love of our Lord?
God’s mighty messages merit memorization.
Several key verses stand out in today’s Bible readings. Perhaps you have recognized some familiar verses. Maybe you have already memorized some of these Scriptures.

Teach our hearts to trust You,
And hearken our hearing
To listen to Your Word.
Train us,
Strengthen us,
And equip us
To please You.
We praise Your Name
Above all else.
Amen.
