Today’s Scripture Reading 

Psalm 85

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 85:11

Human loyalty will reach up from the earth, and God’s righteousness will look down from heaven.

Reflect

Reread verses 1-5. These verses suggest that the psalm was written about the time the people of Israel returned home to Judah from exile in Babylon (after 539 B.C.). After they returned from exile, new problems developed, and the people once again needed to pray for deliverance. At what points in your life have you prayed for God’s deliverance? How did God respond to your prayers?

Pray

Loving God, thank you for delivering me from darkness into light. Forgive me for the times I have failed to do your will. Help me to live in your ways of peace, justice, and mercy, and to be a faithful disciple of Christ. Amen.
