Monday, April 4, 2022 Read: Psalm 1:1-3 Today’s
reading tells us that there are three blessings for those who delight in
reading and meditating upon God’s Word.
Did you catch them? Such people
resist sin…love God’s Word…produce fruit of faith. Pray:
Help me, O Lord, to be a person who loves to read and pray your Word back to
You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm 1:4-6 Today’s reading causes us to think of the
separation of the sheep and the goats – believers and unbelievers – as taught
by Christ Jesus in Matthew 25:31-33. Pray: Lord Jesus, righteous King, help me
to be armed with Your Word so that I might resist the devil and be counted as
one of Your precious sheep on the Last Day.
Amen.
Wednesday, April 6, 2022 Read:
Psalm 2:1-6 This is the first of a number of Messianic
Psalms you will read this year. This
particular Psalm describes the invincibility of the Lord’s Anointed – Christ
Jesus. The first three verses speak of
rebellion against God; verses four through six explain just how foolish it is
to think that mere man can thwart God’s plans.
Pray: Gracious God, help me to
live in faithful obedience to You and Your holy Word. Amen.

Psalm 2:7-12 Does verse seven sound familiar? Three New Testament texts quote this verse as
proof that Jesus is the Son of God (see Acts 13:33; Hebrews 1:5 &
5:5). Pray: Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your gracious rule over my life in
Your Kingdom of Grace. Amen.
Friday, April 9, 2022 Read: Psalm
3 Psalms 3-6 all refer to suffering or affliction caused by
enemies. Some believe that David wrote
these Psalms when being persecuted by his son, Absalom. If you were to underline just one verse from
today’s reading, what would it be? Pray:
Lord, protect me from the wicked plans of evil men and women. In Christ’s name. Amen.
Saturday, April 10, 2022 Read: Psalm 4 Reread verse eight. In what way do the words of the Psalmist
increase your confidence in
your Savior’s love? Pray: Gracious God, You are so good to hear and answer my prayers. Here are my concerns for you today….
