September 20
Introduction
Psalm 119:81–96: This passage begins to suggest that the psalmist is suffering deeply. Proud people seek to entrap him but he trusts in God’s Word. While expressing a sense of impatience for help, the psalmist also attests to God’s faithfulness.
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 119:89
Your word, O LORD, will last forever; it is eternal in heaven.
Reflect
Today’s reading reflects a tension between the psalmist’s trust in God’s promises and his desire for immediate relief from suffering. He is open with God about his struggles, expressing his frustration and begging for relief. How is it an act of faith to share this kind of frustration with God? What has been your experience in sharing times of pain with God?
Pray
Lord, you are eternal, and your word will last forever. You remain faithful in every generation, and the earth you created will keep standing firm. Your law is my source of hope and joy. Hear my cries for help and ground me in your teachings so that I may stand firm in your promises. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
