Today on Meditating the Word, we pray a prayer of the afflicted and psalms by David.
This is Day 120. Today we are reading from The Book of Psalms Chapters 102-104
----
Father God, I praise you with everything that is in me. You have forgiven my sins, you have provided healing for my body and soul. You renewed my life with your lovingkindness and tender mercy. You have renewed my youth like an eagle. Thank you that I don't get what I deserve. You don't hold anything against me. My sins are as far from you as the east is from the west. I will praise you as long as I have breath. Thank you, Father. Amen

Day 119: 1st Chronicles 7-10

Today on Meditating the Word, we review the descendants of Issachar, Benjamin, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim and Asher, the priestly families, the Levitical families, and the family of Saul; and the death of Saul and his sons.
This is Day 119. Today we are reading from The First Book of Chronicles Chapters 7-10 
----
Father God, such a lesson on where we get our information! Saul looked to other sources... his own counsel, and the counsel of a medium, instead of relying only on you. We see people -- even Christians -- do the same today, relying on their own wisdom, or on their daily horoscope, or consulting psychics, when we have the very best sources of information available to us! Your written Word, and Holy Spirit within who will teach us all things and even show us things to come. Help us not to be seduced and led astray by deception Father, but to rely only on you.  Amen

Day 118: Psalm 81, 88, 92 and 93

Today on Meditating the Word, we read various Psalms from Asaph, the Sons of Korah and other Psalmists, a song for the Sabbath Day.
This is Day 118. Today we are reading from the Book of Psalms, Chapters 81, 88, 92 and 93 
----
Father God, like the Psalmists, I praise you. I praise you in all things. When things are going my way, I praise you. When I face difficulty, I praise you. When I am on top of the world, I praise you. When I am in the deepest depth of darkness, I praise you. I know that when I praise you, things change, my soul is lifted up, and my circumstances are transformed by praise. Thank you, Father, for the examples of praise you have give us. Amen

Day 117: 1st Chronicles 6

Today on Meditating the Word, we review the decscendants of Levi, the musicians appointed by David and the settlements of the Levites.
This is Day 117. Today we are reading from the 1st Book of Chronicles, Chapter 6
----
Father God, As we read about the cities and pasture lands that were given to the Levites, we are reminded that out of all the tribes of the Children of Israel, they were the only ones who didn't inherit land to work and develop and inhabit. Because their work, was to serve you. You were their inheritance. Your Word says that we are priests and kings. And like the Levites, our work is to serve you. You are our inheritance. You are our portion. May we always remember that you are more than enough. Amen

Today on Meditating the Word, we read three Psalms of Aspah.
This is Day 116. Today we are reading from the Book of Psalms Chapters 73, 77 and 78
----
Father God, so many times we test you and when things don't go the way we planned, we complain about what we don't have instead of praising you for what we do have and for everything you have done for us. Help us remember to rehearse all of the victories, all of the blessings, and to tell them to our children and our children's children, so that the generations to come will know how wonderful you are and set their hope in you. We don't say it enough. Thank you Father, Amen----

Day 115: 1st Chronicles 3-5

Today on Meditating the Word, we review the descendants of David and Solomon, Judah, Simeon,  Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and we read the prayer of Jabez.
This is Day 115. Today we are reading 1st Chronicles Chapters 3-5
----
Father God, your Word tells us that we have not, because we ask not. The sons of Reuben, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh cried out to you in battle, and you heard them. They prevailed, because you fought for them. Jabez called on you, and your granted his request. Like Jabez, we ask that you bless us indeed and enlarge our borders. May your hand be with us, and may you keep us from even so that we don't cause pain. Thank you, Father, we know that you hear us always when we pray according to your will, which is your Word. Amen.

Today on Meditating the Word, we read several Psalms by the Sons of Korah.
This is Day 114. Today we are reading Psalms Chapters 43-45, 49, 84-85, and 87
----
Father God, Thank you for your Word. Thank you for just being who you are. You are our strength. Even in our discouragement, we will still praise you for everything you've done and for everything you are. Our redemption was costly. But you didn't spare even your son to redeem us. Truly, I would rather be a doorkeeper in your house than to dwell in the palaces of the wicked. Yet, you don't withhold any good thing from me. You are good. And your loving kindness endures forever. Amen

Day 113: 1 Chronicles 1-2

Today on Meditating the Word, we review the geneology from Adam to Abraham and the descendants of Abraham, the sons of Israel and the descendants of Judah.
This is Day 113. Today we are reading 1st Chronicles 1 and 2----
Father God, we know following the geneology of your people is important. In it, we see the way a path was made for Jesus to enter into the earth as our Savior. We see the brokenness of humanity, and your ability to use us, even in that brokenness. Thank you, Father, for your patience and your mercy and your steadfast love. You didn't give up on us, but did whatever it took through the centuries to bring us back into right relationship with you. Thank you, Father. Amen.

This is Day 112. Today we are reading from the Book of Psalms Chapters 6, 8, 9, 10, 14, 16, 19 and 21
----
Father God, we give you thanks with our whole heart and we sing praises to your name. You loved us so much, you sent your Son as a sacrifice to take our place. I can't imagine that depth of love. How could we ever doubt your love for us? You are our God and apart from you, we have nothing. Just being in your presence, Father, is enough. There we find fullness of joy. Thank you, Father, Amen.

Day 111: 2nd Samuel 1-4

Today on Meditating the Word, David Mourns Saul and Jonathan; David is Anointed King of Judah, Ishbosheth is Made King of Israel, the Battle of Gibeon; Abner Defects to David but is killed by Joab; and Isbosheth is Assassinated
This is Day 111. Today we are reading 2nd Samuel 1-4
----
Father God, the respect David had for Saul and his family, the respect he had for the anointing... those around him thought they were doing him favors by killing those they considered his enemies. But David had no hatred toward them. He showed mercy even to those who showed him no mercy. What a gift you have given us in the account of David's life. May we be as forgiving and merciful, as you have forgiven us. Amen.
