Today's Verse: Psalm 3:8

Thursday, December 9, 2021

From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Deliverance does come from the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, our Father. We can trust in this deliverance because of God's faithfulness to his people under the Old Covenant, in sending Jesus, and in the outpouring of the Spirit by the resurrected Savior. So, as this verse suggests, we can confidently ask the Lord to bless us with his richest and greatest blessings as his people because we know that he has already given us the greatest gift of his Son. So, we believe with Paul that since God has done that, "how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" (Romans 8:31-32)

My Prayer...

Thank you, O God, for the salvation you have given us in Jesus. Use us, your people, to spread this blessing to others so that all nations will know your love and come to know your Son as their Savior and Lord, with us. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
