March 24
Introduction
Today’s reading is a communal psalm of thanksgiving from the “Songs of Ascents” collection. This psalm is in the form of a prayer expressing joy for deliverance from exile and a petition for God’s blessing.
Scripture Reading
Psalm 126
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 126:2b
The other nations said about us, “The LORD did great things for them.”
Reflect
Verses 1-3 recall the time of Israel’s return from Babylonian exile (538 B.C.). What is being remembered? What is being asked of God in verses 4 and 5? How many times does the word “joy” appear in this psalm? What will be your song of joy today?
Pray
Sovereign God, I sing for joy because of your mighty deeds. Remind me of all the great things you have done. I thank and praise you for your steadfast love and care. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 127: A psalm of praise for God’s blessings.
