Daily D – Psalm 85:8

by David Bowman | Aug 23, 2023 | Daily D | 0 comments

Psalm 85:8 “I listen carefully to what God the LORD is saying, for he speaks peace to his faithful people. But let them not return to their foolish ways.” (NLT)

—

God wants peace with us more than we want peace with him. He wants peace for us and provides the well-lighted path into that blessed state of being.

The songwriter teaches how to experience peace with God and the peace of God in all circumstances. First, he says, “I listen carefully to what the LORD is saying, for he speaks peace to his faithful people.”

We hear God’s voice most clearly through the Bible. Establishing a daily Bible reading habit leads to a more peaceful life.

Second, he says, “But let them not return to their foolish ways.”

It doesn’t take a great deal of thought to see some of our foolish moments in the proper light. It’s pretty easy to see what we should have done differently. Having learned those lessons and gained that perspective, let’s not go down that road again.

God’s words are truth and life. God’s ways are peaceful and pleasant.

—

I will listen to God, do what he says, and live a peaceful life.

—

Our Father, give me ears to hear what you are saying to me today. Give me a willing and obedient heart to follow where you lead. Empower me to live a peaceful life and to carry your peace into every conversation and situation. Amen.

Daily D – Ezra 3:11-13

Ezra 3:11-13 They sang with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord: “For he is good; his faithful love to Israel endures forever.” Then all the people gave a great shout of praise to the Lord because the foundation of the Lord’s house had been laid. But many of the older priests, Levites, and family heads, who had seen the first temple, wept loudly when they saw the foundation of this temple, but many others shouted joyfully. The people could not distinguish the sound of the joyful shouting from that of the weeping, because the people were shouting so loudly. And the sound was heard far away.

Daily D – Ezekiel 43:1-5

Ezekiel 43:1-5 He led me to the gate, the one that faces east, and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice sounded like the roar of a huge torrent, and the earth shone with his glory. The vision I saw was like the one I had seen when he came to destroy the city, and like the ones I had seen by the Chebar Canal. I fell facedown. The glory of the Lord entered the temple by way of the gate that faced east. Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the inner court, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.
