Daily Bible Reading – February 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of Love

DAY 14 OF 29

  

February 14

Introduction

In today’s reading, the writer prays for help while, at the same time, expressing confidence in God. Verses 7-9 make reference to the land of Israel and its neighbors. Shechem was in the territory of Manasseh west of the Jordan River. Sukkoth and Gilead were in the territory of Manasseh east of the Jordan. The Ephraim tribe settled in central Canaan, and its name sometimes stood for the whole northern kingdom. Judah was the name for the entire southern kingdom. The people of Moab were descended from Lot, the nephew of Abraham (see Genesis 19:30-38), and Moab and Israel had been enemies in the past (2 Samuel 8:2). The people of Edom were descendants of Esau, one of Abraham’s grandsons (see Genesis 25:30; 36:9), and they, too, had been enemies of Israel (2 Samuel 8:13, 14).

Today’s Scripture: Psalm 108:5

Show your greatness in the sky, O God, and your glory over all the earth.

Today’s Reading 

Psalm 108

Reflect

You may wish to compare Psalm 108 with Psalms 57 and 60 inasmuch as some scholars have suggested that these two psalms were combined to form Psalm 108. What verses speak of asking God for help against Israel’s enemies? What verses speak of trust in God? How do you experience confidence in God’s love for you?

Pray

Lord God, you are mighty and victorious. Whenever I need your help, I know I can turn to you, trusting that you hear my prayer. Hold me close to you and surround me with your loving presence. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those serving in the armed forces who are being deployed

Tomorrow’s Reading

Psalm 136: God’s eternal love is praised.
