Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Praiseਨਮੂਨਾ

  

November 5

Introduction

Today’s psalm speaks of God’s unfailing love by describing God’s saving acts in four instances – coming to the aid of those wandering the desert, rescuing those suffering in prison, healing the sick and those close to death, and rescuing those in trouble at sea – saving all from their distress. The psalm concludes with an affirmation of the LORD’s constant love.

Today’s Scripture: Psalm 107:8a

Thank the LORD for his constant love.

Today’s Reading 

Psalm 107

Reflect

Today’s psalm opens with the same verse as the opening in Psalm 106 (see yesterday’s reading), and emphasizes repeating these words (verse 2).  Why is it important to remember these words? The psalm recounts many of God’s acts of love and grace. How can telling stories about God’s love and grace enhance your praise and strengthen your faith? How can hearing other people’s stories deepen your understanding of God? Note verses 8, 15, 21, 31. What is the significance of this verse being repeated four times throughout the psalm?

Pray

God, I give thanks to you because your love is eternal! You care for your people in every time and place, being present with us in whatever situations we face. May the stories of your constant love deepen my faith and the faith of others. Amen.
