TODAY'S READING:

• Psalm 115, Psalm 116, Psalm 117, Psalm 118

WORD OF THE DAY:

• Endures

Welcome to our exploration of Psalms 115 to 118, a segment of the Egyptian Hallel psalms sung during Passover celebrations. These psalms were on Jesus' lips during His last moments with His disciples, making them profoundly significant. Our word of the day is "Endures," emphasizing the lasting nature of God's love and faithfulness. Let's dive into these psalms and uncover the richness of God's enduring presence.

Psalm 115 is a liturgical psalm meant to be sung by alternating groups of worshipers. It highlights the contrast between the living God and lifeless idols, calling for trust in the Lord.

Consider the areas in your life where you need to place more trust in God rather than in worldly solutions. Reflect on His sovereignty and how it brings peace and assurance in your life.

Psalm 116, likely sung by Jesus and His disciples on the night of His betrayal, is a personal song of thanksgiving for God's deliverance.

Reflect on times when God has delivered you from difficult situations. How can you express your gratitude and live a life that honors His deliverance?

Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the Bible but packs a powerful message: a call for all nations to praise the Lord.

Think about how you can be a part of spreading the message of God’s love and faithfulness to people around you. How can you encourage others to join in praising God?

Psalm 118 is a thanksgiving song that celebrates God's enduring love and the triumph that comes from trusting in Him.

Reflect on how God’s enduring love has been a foundation in your life. How does this psalm inspire you to trust in Him more deeply and celebrate His victories?

Word of the Day: Endures

Endures: To remain in existence; to last.

Psalm 118:24 captures the essence of endurance: "This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it." Despite life's challenges, God's love remains a constant. It’s a bedrock upon which we anchor our faith, a lighthouse guiding us home.

In my own life, caring for my bedridden grandma has been challenging. Yet, even when she was in the ICU and confused, she could still sing Psalm 118:24 with me. Her ability to praise God despite her condition is a testament to the enduring nature of God's love.

Psalms 115 to 118 harmoniously highlight God's enduring glory, love, mercy, faithfulness, and victory. In life's ups and downs, His enduring presence reassures us in trials and celebrates with us in victories. This divine endurance should comfort us, providing a steadfast foundation for our faith.
