Daily Bible Reading – March 2023, "God’s Saving Word: Prayer"Sample

March 25

Introduction

Another “Song of Ascent”, the opening verses in today’s reading express dependence on God. The writer acknowledges that God is the source of all blessings. In ancient times, the gift of children provided the family with economic support and help with daily tasks.

Scripture Reading

Psalm 127

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 127:3

Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a real blessing.

Reflect

Verses 1 and 2 acknowledge that human efforts are useless without dependence on God. In what ways do you demonstrate your dependence on God? In what ways does your community of faith celebrate the blessing of children? For what will you thank God today?

Pray

Faithful God, you are the source of all blessings. I can do nothing without you. I am thankful that you alone are God; I trust you and stand on your holy Word. Amen.
