Everything was ordered. You are still a God of order. But now, the only sacrifice you require is a sacrifice of praise. And so we praise you, Father. And we thank you that we live under grace and not the law.  Amen

You let David choose his own punishment, and then you showed mercy and stopped the plague at his request. We thank you for your mercy, Father. We thank you for your favor which lasts a lifetime. We thank you that you have turned our mourning into dancing and clothed us with gladness. We give you all the praise.  Amen

Today on Meditating the Word, we read Psalms and songs by David and the Sons of Korah.
This is Day 140. Today we are reading from the Book of Psalms, chapters 5, 38, 41 and 42
----
Father God, we can see that even in David's time, people asked where is your God? Every time a disaster strikes, every time man exercises his dominion for evil instead of good, Christians are asked "where is your God?" They ask how you could let these things happen. They blame you, instead of realizing that you gave us free will. And man opened the door to the curse of the enemy. More than anything else, you want us to live lives of peace, health, prosperity... Help us, Father, to walk in the authority you have given us to use the mighty name of Jesus.  Amen.

This is Day 139. Today we are reading 2nd Samuel 19-21
----
Father God, in the account of David, I'm struck by how important it is to be surrounded by godly people and to have wise counsel. Had it not been for Joab's advice to David, things could have gone very badly. In the early days, it seemed as though David sought your counsel before his every move, but over time, he stopped. May we always seek your counsel, your will, in our lives. And make sure that we keep company with the wise who can guide us back when we go astray. Thank you for your Word, Father, that is just as relevant today as it was when it was first written centuries ago. Amen

Father God, you know our hearts and our minds. You don't look at our outward appearance, at our deeds only, but you look at our motives. With you, it's isn't a matter of works, it's a matter of the heart. Help us to walk in your truth, Father, and to study your Word. For we know that from Genesis to Revelation, everything points to Jesus and what he did for us. We offer you a sacrifice of praise for everything you have done. So many blessings, that we can't count them all. Thank you, Father. Amen.----
