Reading God’s Word: Matthew 17:14-23; Psalm 40:1-10

Memorizing God’s Word: Psalm 40:4 Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.

Meditating on God’s Word: Psalm 40:4 Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.

Praying God’s Word “Lord, I read here in Your Word that the person who trusts in You is blessed. But the truth is that this is true only because of the way that you came through for the Psalmist! He experienced your blessing when he cried out because You heard him, turned to him, and saved him. And so, from dangers and difficulties known, and unknown, I ask the same for myself today. Lord, hear my cry! Turn to me and rescue me, that I might sing of your blessing. Amen.”
