Read Psalm chapter 121 VERSE: Psalm 121:3–He will not let your feet slip–he who watches over you will not slumber. TRUTH: God is always watching over us. He never takes a break or turns away.

Will we trust in Him to guide our path today, knowing that He is watching over every step? RESPONSE: Father, I praise You and lift You up. You see every step I…

Read Psalm chapter 122 VERSE: Psalm 122:1–I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.” TRUTH: Are we joyful and excited every chance we get to come into the presence of the Lord? As His children, we are to be excited about the opportunity to spend time with Him and with His other children. As we consider our brothers and sisters in Christ, we can be excited and joyful at spending time with them and rejoicing in the Lord together. RESPONSE: Father, I will praise You and lift You up.

Read Psalm chapter 120 VERSE: Psalm 120:6-7–Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. I am for peace; but when they speak, they are for war. TRUTH: It seems everyone today is talking about wanting peace, but when it comes down to it, they just argue and fight about everything anyway. There are some people who just don’t seem content unless they are arguing about something. Are we like those people? Or, do we seek peace? True peace is only found with God and then through God, we can have peace with others. RESPONSE: Father, through You there is peace, but only through You. I will seek after…

Read Psalm chapter 119 VERSE: Psalm 119:136–Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed. TRUTH: This, the longest chapter in the Bible, is written as a love song to God’s Word. How much do we love God’s Word? Are we broken wen we see others dismiss it or down-play it? When people disobey or ignore God’s Word, it should break our hearts, just as it breaks God’s heart. Then, it should propel us into action. We can’t simply stand by while God’s Word is dishonored and disobeyed. What are we doing to help people come back to God’s Word? RESPONSE: Father, I love Your Word…

Read Psalm chapter 118 VERSE: Psalm 118:6–The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? TRUTH: What do we fear? What are the things around us that we envision happening to us that bring fear into our lives? The Lord is God and He has promised to be with us. We are in His presence and because of that, we don’t need to be afraid. There is nothing that people can do to us that is outside of God’s knowledge and He is with us through everything. Do we place our trust on Him? RESPONSE: Father, You are with me. This world…

Read Psalm chapter 117 VERSE: Psalm 117:1–Praise the Lord, all you nations, extol him, all you peoples. TRUTH: We talk about how we each need to praise God, but how often do we think about all the nations praising God. We are not alone in our praise. We are not praising Him by ourselves. We are part of a huge grouping of peoples all across the earth who are lifting up and praising God. Will we let our voice be heard and know that we are never alone. RESPONSE: Father, I am so glad to be able to join the millions and billions of other believers across the globe who…

Read Psalm chapter 116 VERSE: Psalm 116:12–What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me? TRUTH: Have we ever thought much about that question? What will we give back to God that would ever begin to compare with all He has done for us? He created us. He works with us and protects and defends us. He made the way of salvation for us through His Son. We owe Him everything and that is exactly what He deserves from us…everything! RESPONSE: Father, You give me everything and in return, I give You everything. All that I am for all that You are.

Read Psalm chapter 115 VERSE: Psalm 115:1–Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness. TRUTH: Do we seek to bring glory to ourselves or to God? When we do things are we looking for the recognition and praise or are we seeking to proclaim God’s glory? God alone deserves the praise and He is the one who is behind anything good that we do. Will we bring praise and glory to Him? RESPONSE: Father, I will praise You and lift You up. You are the source of anything good in my life, and I will praise You for…

Read Psalm chapter 115 VERSE: Psalm 115:7–Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob. TRUTH: God is God over not just us, but over all the earth as well. The trees, the rocks, the animals are all under His reign and He created them all to declare His majesty. Do we reverence and respect God for His awesome power and majesty? The earth bows to Him and trembles at His presence. We should do the same today and every day as we remember and recognize His power in our life. RESPONSE: Father, I praise You as the Creator of all things, not…

Read Psalm chapter 113 VERSE: Psalm 1135–Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high? TRUTH: The answer is no one. No one is like the Lord most high. Others try to lie and convince us that they have as much power or influence. We even try to convince ourselves sometimes that we each have the same power and might that the Lord does, but we don’t. Not even close. God is over everything and not just because He is powerful, but because He is the Creator of everything. He crafted the world with His words. Do we give Him the respect that is due?…
