DEUTERONOMY 17-18:
In the book of Deuteronomy, yesterday we heard about the release of debts and slaves in the Jubilee Year (also called the Year of Restoration), and a reminder about 100% participation for the males in three festivals.
PSALM 58:
Today I invite you to pray along with the psalmist who wrote Psalm 58, asking God to give justice to His people. This psalm begins with the writer speaking to evil rulers and judges. (He doesn’t anticipate that those evil people are actually listening, but this is a rhetorical device called apostrophe.) The writer calls God to take action, and ends his poem trusting that God will make things right and godly people will rejoice.
ACTS 13a:
In yesterday’s reading of Acts, we heard how Herod decided to go after the top apostles, killing James. But Peter escaped. As a result, 16 soldiers died. Then Herod met his richly deserved end.
Today for our prayer, I will read the words of Charles Wesley’s famous hymn, And can it be.
And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest (a share) in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain—
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Refrain:
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
’Tis myst’ry all: th’ Immortal dies:
Who can explore His strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
To sound the depths of love divine.
’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more.
He left His Father’s throne above—
So free, so infinite His grace—
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race:
’Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me!
Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray—
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine;
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach th’ eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
Refrain:
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Our heavenly Father, we thank you for this picture. And today may we go forth with unchained and joyful hearts.
