Daily Bible Verse & Prayer

Today's Verse - Psalm 29:2

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.

Psalm 29:2

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Giving glory, ascribing the glory God is due, is not easy for us with our mortal limitations and self-focused ambitions. Let's admit it: We are self-focused and limited compared to God's glorious limitlessness! We're much more accustomed to asking for things for ourselves from God that we think we need than we are focused on praising and thanking God while inviting others to join us in adoring him. Let's use the rest of this week to pray with thanksgiving and praise, glorifying God's holy name while not asking for things for ourselves. Let's try it together! We can choose a day this week and spend an hour praising, adoring, reverencing, and thanking God for who he is, what he has done, and his promises to us. We won't ask for anything from God during this time. We want this hour to focus on God and what He has done, ascribing to him the glory due him while worshiping him in the splendor of his holiness!

My Prayer...

Father, we praise you. You are marvelous and magnificent beyond the power of my earthbound words to describe and praise. Despite my human limitations, you have loved me as I am and are transforming with increasing likeness to be like your Son.* Thank you for sending him to help me glimpse your glory and anticipate seeing you face to face in eternal glory. Thank you for living inside me through your Holy Spirit and doing your work in me. I praise you for sustaining me and those I love with your grace. I thank you, dear LORD, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Today's Verse - 2 Corinthians 12:9

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

2 Corinthians 12:9

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

While other preachers in Paul's day were parading and bragging about their credentials, Paul refused to get into such self-centered contests to prove he was the most impressive of Jesus' disciples. Even though he had the religious education and Jewish pedigree to silence his rivals, he preferred to acknowledge the areas of his weakness where God triumphed over his limitations. God had taught Paul that heaven's power was most on display in Paul's weakness, like Jesus' power over the evil one, which he demonstrated through the cross — the ultimate sign of weakness (Colossians 2:12-15). God demonstrated his power through what Paul did in his weakness so the glory could go to God! Let's be careful about determining someone's ministryworthiness based on his or her resume or reputation. Instead, let's honor people in whom God's grace has triumphed through their weakness!

My Prayer...

Almighty and loving Father, thank you for sustaining and enabling me to serve you in ways I would never have dreamed of doing. Please help me serve you faithfully as I depend upon your grace in my weakness. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Today's Verse - Romans 5:9-10

Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

Romans 5:9-10

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Jesus did more than die for our sins; he lives as our resurrected LORD. So, since God emptied heaven of the Son, had him die on the cross for our sins, and then raised him from the dead to save us, imagine what God has in store for us now that he has saved us! We have only seen the beginnings of God's love for us, and even though what we have seen is amazing, God will do more than we can ask or imagine for us through the power and presence of our resurrected LORD and Savior, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit that he gives us (Ephesians 3:20-21).

My Prayer...

Holy LORD, we look forward to the day we get to see you and experience your grace in all its glory when we meet Jesus in that glory.* Please inspire us to be courageous and confident when facing challenges in the future. We want to live faithfully and victoriously before others, knowing Jesus is alive forever for us. Father, we believe that the best of what Jesus wants to do in us and through us lies ahead, so use us to your glory. In Jesus' name, we know we are forgiven as we pray confidently and anticipate our future glory with him. Amen.
