Daily Bible Verse & Prayer

Today's Verse - Psalm 34:3

Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.

—Psalm 34:3

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Isn't it good that we can sing alone and know God loves our songs! Isn't it even better that we can join others in songs of praise and lose ourselves in wonder, love, and joy, knowing that the Holy Spirit fills us and joins us in this praise (Ephesians 5:17-21). Let's spend today finding other believers and praising God together. All around the world and hundreds of thousands strong,* let's reach out as the Verse of the Day family to other believers and ask them to join us in glorifying the LORD!

* Our Verse of the Day family is composed of people from over 190 countries, in 15 languages, and with approximately 300,000 daily participants, so let's praise God all around the world today and invite others to join us!

My Prayer...

Almighty and merciful God, please be pleased with our praise and our attempts to join others in bringing you glory. Forgive us for our sins, slips, and slights. Empower us to be living witnesses to your magnificent grace and invite others to join in our praise to you. In Jesus' name, we ask this. Amen.

Today's Verse - Psalm 34:2

My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

—Psalm 34:2

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

We have no basis to boast in our own might. We can't preserve our lives. We can't topple kingdoms. We can't see the edge of the heavens. We can't determine the future or change the past. So, what do we have to boast about? The LORD! We are living proof of his grace and mercy. He saved us when we didn't deserve it, he rescued us from sin and death when we had no power to preserve our lives, and he has promised us a home with him forever. Those in sorrow, brokenness, and night can look at us and rejoice, because we are living proof that God saves sinners, lifts up the disheartened, and mends the broken. Praise the LORD for his glory. Praise the LORD for his grace.

My Prayer...

LORD, we thank you! Thank you for all that you have done for us. Let others see your work in us and understand that you can do a great thing in them, as well. In Jesus' precious name, we rejoice in you. Amen.

Today's Verse - Psalm 34:1

I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.

—Psalm 34:1

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

One way to keep our life on track and our hearts surrendered to the will and work of God is to joyously praise ("extol") our glorious LORD continually. Let's put our praise for the LORD on our lips with songs and memorized scriptures. Let's tell his remarkable and glorious deeds to our children, grandchildren, and friends. Let's give him thanks for all that he has done for us. Just as surely as the LORD is with us always (Psalm 139:1-24), let's praise him always (Colossians 3:17).

My Prayer...

Almighty God, eternal and loving Father, I praise you for your great and incredible creativity displayed in your creation. I marvel at your vastness and incomprehensible glory revealed in the great expanse of the heavens. Thank you for your power, mercy, faithfulness, and grace demonstrated by your care for your people and the sending of your Son as you promised. You are wonderful. You are awesome. You are majestic. You are the LORD Most High! Thank you for loving me. In Jesus' name, I extol you. Amen.
