Daily Bible Reading – March 2022: God’s Renewing Word of PrayerSample

March 4

Introduction

Today’s reading concludes the psalm and describes a joyful procession into God’s sanctuary—the Temple in Jerusalem. Verses 21-23 include a description of enemies being defeated by God, and the psalm concludes with songs in praise of God’s power.

Scripture Reading

Psalm 68:19-35

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 68:35

How awesome is God as he comes from his sanctuary—the God of Israel! He gives strength and power to his people. Praise God!

Reflect

Verse 19 affirms that God “carries our burdens day after day.” Are there burdens weighing heavily on your heart today? How do you envision the procession that is described in verses 24-27? What verses in today’s reading speak of God’s power? When have you sensed God’s power at work in your life?

Pray

Lord God, when I feel weighed down by life’s burdens, I know I can turn to you. You hear my prayers, and you surround me with your comforting presence. Thank you for your steadfast love and care. You are indeed awesome, and you renew and strengthen me in my faith journey. I sing praises to you and will proclaim your mighty power every day. Amen.
