When I’m not reading through the Bible in 90 Days, I use this reading plan to keep me in the Word daily. If you aren’t already following a daily plan, or you are between plans, I hope you’ll consider joining me. Just jump in on today’s date.
Today’s Reading: Psalm 122, 1 Corinthians 9-11
Here’s what I heard today using SOAP:
Scripture: Psalm 122:6-7
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem;
“May those who love you be secure.
7 May there be peace within your walls
and security within your citadels.”
Observation:
Pray for peace and security for God’s people.
Application:
This especially struck me today, considering that it is Veteran’s Day.
I am definitely going out on my own interpretation this morning, but I think God might be saying “pray for peace in all of my land,” not just one geographic area.
He wants us to live in peace, and be secure. He wants us to be strong.
And I am so thankful for our military who work to promote peace, love and the ability to worship as we are led, among many other things.
Prayer:
Lord, thank you for our protectors and thank you for guiding us in how to live.
Please keep those we love secure and bring peace and security to all the world, which is your world.
Guide us as we seek you. And help our leaders to seek your instruction and guidance as they make decisions for our country and armed forces. And, Lord, grant an extra dose of strength to those who serve, and extra arms of comfort to those who support those who serve.
Thank you, Lord, for being in control, ultimately. And thank you for the promise of peace.
