Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of WisdomChikamu
September 25
Introduction
This passage begins to suggest that the psalmist is suffering deeply. Proud people seek to entrap him; yet, he trusts in God’s Word. While expressing a sense of impatience for the LORD’s help, the psalmist also attests to God’s faithfulness.
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 119:89
Your word, O LORD, will last forever; it is eternal in heaven.
Today’s Reading
Psalm 119:81-96
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? Do you believe God hears and cares about your pain even if God doesn’t respond in the way you desire? Why or why not?
Pray
Lord, you are eternal! Your Word will last as long as the heavens. You remain faithful in every generation, and the earth you created will keep standing firm. Hear my cries for help, and ground me in your teachings so that I may stand firm in your promises. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those who are suffering physically, emotionally, and/or spiritually
Tomorrow’s Reading
