In today’s passages I found it interesting how Paul changed his approach to different locations and cultures. When he saw the inscription on the altar in Athens that said AN UNKNOWN GOD, he was quick to recognize this as a perfect point of entry to introducing the one true God. We should be quick to recognizing our point of entry into a conversation about Christ is not meant to be combative or offensive to someone else, but to be positive and applicable to them. We are to reflect Christ, including His example of how to approach people who need Him. This means meeting people where they are ready to be introduced to Christ.

In both chapters of today’s reading there are statements about God’s love enduring forever. Throughout Psalm 136 it says, His love endures forever. Then in the last verse of Psalm 138 in verse 8 it says, The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever—do not abandon the works of your hands. By including God in all our plans He will not abandon us. He loves us and wants to see His will fulfilled in us.

God has the ability to restore anything, whether it’s a burned down forest, broken bones, or even broken hearts and relationships. He loves all things He has created. Psalm 126:5-6 says it best, 5 Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. 6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him. We may go out weeping for the pain we are in, but God never leaves us and always brings us healing. Even when my dad died of cancer a few years ago, God restored him to healing in eternity. I have to believe His promises to me. It is what keeps me moving forward.

Psalm 121 and 124 both had similar themes about our Helper. Psalm 121:1-2 says it well, 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. The Lord, the creator of everything, is more than capable of providing all the help we need in all we do. When it feels we are all alone, God is always by our side. When I feel alone I imagine that Jesus is standing right beside me with His arms wrapped around me. It provides comfort and it provides the visual of what I know is actually happening through the Holy Spirit. We are so blessed to have a God who cares so much about us that He never leaves us alone.

Psalm 118:1 says it all for me today, Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. God is everything to me. He has done everything that is good in my life. His love will never end and will never be any less or any more than it is right now. His love is perfect!

I love Psalm 103:11-12, as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; God can remove our sins from us to a point where it does not even exist anymore. We must fear and respect Him, but He want to cleanse us from all our transgressions if we just trust in Him.

I don’t have much to say about today’s reading, but I do love Psalm 67:1-2, May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. It is almost as if the Psalmist could see the impact salvation would have across the earth.

God is our strength and He is our hope! He is the fortress we find safety, healing, and peace. Psalm 59:17 says it all to me, O my Strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God.

Have you ever been in a situation where you felt the need for God’s mercy on you? I definitely have! For David, you can feel it in Psalm 57:1, Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed. When we face times of trouble, God comes along and calms our hearts and minds. Only He can truly give us peace and I love Him for protecting and loving us even when we don’t deserve it.

The first verse in today’s reading struck me right away. Psalm 16:1 says Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge. There are so many pitfalls in life and without God’s constant protection we fall. We are imperfect beings and we need God’s perfect power to keep us safe in everything we do; whether it’s in relationships or simply driving home from vacation, we need His protection!
