Then Sings My Soul - Cries Of The Heart From The PsalmsSample

Psalm 1:2-3

Instead, in the law of Yahweh is his delight and on his law he meditates day and night. And so, he is like a tree planted by streams of water that gives its fruit in its season; its leaf also does not wither. Therefore all that he does prospers. 

Oh, what joy we find in Your instruction, Oh God! With You as our Master Teacher, we sit enraptured. We can’t stop savoring Your words and talk excitedly with each other throughout the day about what You are saying to us! We choose to continually receive Your counsel and so are empowered to live out life Your way. As we let You define truth, establish our values and be our primary influencer, our lives flourish. We experience the vitality of whole health, from which we can offer others relationships that benefit and nourish their well-being. Your ongoing attentiveness to us provides whatever we need in every season of life for all of our days. Oh, what joy we find in Your instruction, Oh God!

Application: What is Jesus saying to you as you begin this 21-day journey of focused conversation with Him?

One of the richest words Jesus speaks in Scripture is the word “Come.” Such a warm welcome is offered in this invitation to do life with Him! Think of the feelings that arise when you receive an invitation to something.  How does the word “invitation” resonate with you as you connect it with Jesus' beckon to "come"?  What is Jesus saying to you as He invites you to come with Him on this 21-day journey of prayer?

Kids tip: Have your kids design an invitation from Jesus to them. What is He inviting them to in the next 21 days?
