Introduction
Today’s reading is a communal psalm of thanksgiving for God’s protection and deliverance from a time of peril.
Scripture Reading
Psalm 124
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 124:8
Our help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Reflect
How does this psalm express thanksgiving for God’s deliverance? In what ways have you experienced God’s deliverance? Verse 8 is in the form of a refrain and concludes today’s psalm and echoes verse 2 from Psalm 121 (the reading from November 15). It acknowledges God as Creator. Write your own prayer of thanksgiving, praising God as Creator and Deliverer.
Pray
Creator God, you are always by my side, surrounding me with your love and care. My help comes from you, and I thank and praise you for your faithfulness. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those in need of protection
Tomorrow’s Reading
