Monday:
Psalm 139 Israel Falls Into Exile
A familiar and very readable Psalm offering God’s presence and promise in clear language. A Psalm for all seasons; so to speak.
Tuesday:
Psalms 84 God’s Home
As all Psalms are both simple and complex, so this Psalm finds it’s mark in our lives. How many familiar hymns and new worship songs find their inspiration from this Psalm? Lots and lots.
Wednesday:
Psalms 121 Protection
This has become my favorite Psalm since moving to Council Bluffs and living in the Loss Hills. The theme of protection feels timely.
Thursday:
Psalm 100 Thanksgiving
Make a joyful noise, worship the Lord with gladness, and commit this Psalm to memory.
Friday:
2 Corinthians 4:1-18 Treasure in Clay Jars
Power belongs to God. Power belongs to God. Power belongs to God. By the way did I mention: Power belongs to God!
Saturday:
Psalm 91 God’s Protection & Grace
When all is said and done we believe God will offer grace and protection to God’s people. We know this love through our King, Jesus Christ. For the last Seven weeks we have studied the human kings in the Old Testament. We have seen the people ask for a king, the prophets sigh in weariness, and God allowing a human king to rule. We have followed as the kings all failed to offer the security and hope for which the people were yearning. Enter this wonderful Psalm offering a new vision for living in the shadow of God’s love and protection. Do you know the hymn, “On Eagles Wings.”
Sunday: Reflect and Worship
Scripture: Psalm 91
Sermon Title: “Life in the Shadows”

The commentary in the New Interpreter's Study Bible on page 835 talks about death--Death is not simply ... anything that threatens the bond between God and the supplicant is not merely like death--it is death. To "recount the deeds of the Lord is to live." Think about that and the dream I had.
