“May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
Psalms 19:14 NLT
i pray that the things i say and the things i think will be pleasing to God and that i will meditate on scripture so that my heart will be filled with scripture.
i love these verses. “I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.”
Psalms 18:1-2 NLT
so comforting to know that i’m protected and safe. the Lord is my shield.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. – Psalms 18:2
28 For it is you who light my lamp;
the Lord my God lightens my darkness. – Psalms 18:28. I love the imagery of the God of the Universe reaching down to strike a flame to a candle.
2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. – Psalms 18:2
14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
I love this scripture, it’s my prayer that what ever I say or do is eccetable y
Lord, help me be like David and exhalt you to the highest. Help me be an example for those who do not know you. Lead me in the way You want me to go and be a worthy servant for you. The skies you display are pure craftsmanship. May everything I do be acceptable for you. Help keep me close to You through my Bible reading, meditation, prayer, and actions (both verbally and online). You are my rock and my redeemer. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name. Amen. ♥️
So much here! Need to rest in these words for a while today! Psalm 18 tells us how we are rewarded when we seek God. We are rescued, rewarded, repaid, clothed with strength, trained, given a shield of salvation, freed, appointed, we are given the victory! These are just a few. Who is like our God? No one! ❤️
May we all be praying for our words and meditations be acceptable to Him. Not only our verbal words but written as well. What we post matters too!
People are watching our actions and we can not speak verbally one way and be a completely different person online
Loved these Psalms!! When we hold steadfast in our strength, love and faith for God, he will redeem us from our worldly sins and deliver us to eternal life. God is our rock and redeemer.
28 For it is you who light my lamp;
the Lord my God lightens my darkness.
29 For by you I can run against a troop,
and by my God I can leap over a wall.
30 This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
Starting today reading through the whole Bible for the first time. I’m so excited! My sweet daughter was led to encourage me to do something I’ve always meant to do. Thankful!
The Lord’s instruction, testimony, precepts, command, (fear of), and ordinances lead to:
-renewing of one’s life
-making the inexperienced wise
-making the heart glad
-making the eyes light up
-they endure forever
I’ve been learning to obey because I am already accepted, not that I obey therefore I am accepted. This passage reminded me how sweet is can be to obey the Lord… his decrees are more precious than gold and sweeter than honeycombs… his commands are radiant and give light.
“The Lord is the rock and my fortress”. I mean, this is so incredibly powerful. It was exactly what I needed to hear today. Despite difficult times, I know I can rely on the Lord to bring me through.
18:6 shows us how he hears our prayers even if it seems as if He’s on the other end of the world. When we are going through troubled times we tend to think “God is not with me” or “He doesn’t hear me” but his word says he is near the broken hearted. All we have to do is cry out to him because walking with God is not based on whether if I feel him = He is with me. It is based on if I feel him or not He is there and we will hear my cry.
God is trying to say that he protects you from sins and that the wicked cry out to you but God does not hear them. God is good and he wants you to be with him in heaven and he didn’t mean for us to be in a world with sin. The wicked are trying to keep us from God but they never can beat him.
7The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
9The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever.
The decrees of the Lord are firm,
and all of them are righteous.
Oh, how I needed this! A reminder of His sovereignty, the ways His word remain living & active.
2The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I’ve been meditating on these verses today and it just gave me so much peace. If you’re new to the plan, I encourage you to slow down and truly take it all in rather than rush through the reading. I know it’s easier said than done. This is my third year reading, and first time I’m pondering what I’m reading and looking up verses that I don’t understand. I believe that there is always a word that God wants us to see during these readings. Be blessed!
There are so many names for God in this chapter, I am making a list as I read the Bible of how many names there are for Him. How many have you counted?
I have neglected my relationship from God for awhile now. No reason in particular but I have been having that feeling to open my bible to read his word to learn and this hit me right where I needed. I want to be back on the right path in my relationship with him and reading this is just what I needed.
As he opens his arms, and we walk in allows us to open our minds and hearts to allow his love to protect us from all evil. Doesn’t matter how many times you cry out he is always willing to give you his heart which is just sooo amazing that he uses all his mighty power and he will defeat all enemies apon you, giving you the strength the determination the love to help you win each and ever battle, you will never be alone you will never face anything alone you’ll always have god as his just amazing!
I have sinned many and the lord blesses me nonstop. Not in materialistic things but in life in general, I wake to see another day, take another step, another breath, I can go on forever. I feel so unworthy of his blessings devotion because I don’t thank him everyday. I’m so glad I downloaded this app, it’ll keep me closer to him
I know what you mean. It’s so easy to get side tracked with every day life that we lose track of what’s most important. “The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul” I love that feeling of revival. These lessons really help me feel closer to the Lord too.
His love is so unfailing and protecting ! How amazing that when I cry out he hears my cry and in anger defeats my enemies. He gives me the strength within to win the battle each and every time in his light !!! God is amazing !
16 He sent from on high, he took me;
he drew me out of many waters.
17 He rescued me from my strong enemy
and from those who hated me,
for they were too mighty for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the Lord was my support.
19 He brought me out into a broad place;
he rescued me, because he delighted in me.
So encouraging this morning to hear that He delights in me! ❤
I absolutely LOVE the Message version of Psalm 19…it paints the Psalm in such a beautiful way. So excited to be in a new month and thankful God has given me the obedience to stay faithful for a whole month with this plan!
2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
-i need to remember this one. He is always there because He is my rock, not some boy or a friend could look at my sins and take them in. He is my rock.
1 I love you, O Lord, my strength.
We are all blessed! There can come a time where we just want to give up, but all things happen for a reason. Pray everyday, and prayers will be heard.
It’s so refreshing to read the psalms! In Job it’s all so dark and heavy. It’s such a delight to worship God for his amazing attributes and to celebrate His creative power and His word!! Like breathing fresh air!!
18 v. 30 “God’s way is perfect.” And the law has so much for us – 19 v. 7-11! It revives the soul, makes us wise, brings joy to the heart, lasts forever, is fair, gives us insight for living, warns us, and rewards us. Thank you for the law and your plans for us, Lord!
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.
God is always listening. God hears our cries. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness. Thank you Lord for your love. THANK YOU for being our rock, our salvation!
May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to You,
Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
Such a beautiful prayer!! Lord let it be true of me!
Hey everyone, this doesn’t have anything to do with the passage today. But, if anyone would like to follow an Instagram page I found, I think that you’ll be interested. It’s FindTheBiblePassItOn
The person running it wants to start a movement to give Bibles to the world whenever you can. It’s really interesting and I hope you’ll check it out
Psalm 18:16-19 But me he caught — reached all the way
from sky to sea; he pulled me out
Of that ocean of hate, that enemy chaos,
the void in which I was drowning.
They hit me when I was down,
but God stuck by me.
He stood me up on a wide-open field;
I stood there saved — surprised to be loved!
This is the incredible thing that happened to me last night! I am so so excited for the course God has me on! I was drowning is a sea of torment and confusion that the enemy had wrapped around me. But GOD. He picked me and set me in a firm wide open space and spoke love and courage and hope into my heart!!! I’m so so thankful I went up to the conference at Aunt Kathy and Carlos and Patricia’s church!!! Wow!!! Just wow!!! ALL THE MINISTRY TEAM BLEW MY SOCKS OFF!!! And Dr. Dan Hammer and his assistant were RIGHT ON!!!
I just loved this today! The way it’s so comforting but also warning in a way. God is good. We should love him and want our lives to reflect that. He is worth much more than any amount of money and we should want nothing more than to live for him. Even when people discourage us, or persecute us, God remains faithful to us and will see us through the storms! As long as we don’t turn our backs on him, he will always help us. And even if we do, he’ll be
Waiting for us to turn back with open arms.
1 I love you, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
What perfect words for a Monday morning!! Thanks Lord ❤️
I just started late yesterday, and both today and yesterday’s readings have been so good. The Lord’s timing is so good. It’s crazy how He knows exactly what words we need, and knows exactly how to encourage us. Thank you, Lord. We praise you because you are so good and faithful!
“Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults!” — YES LORD, please forgive us for the things we never meant to do or that we don’t even know are sins! You are so good to us , Lord; knowing we would sin even without solid knowledge of it, sending your son to shed his blood for our sins, and providing us a way to pray for these unknown transgressions via Your word. Thank You!
So thankful for His law and His wisdom, His faithfulness and hope in Him, the beautiful sunrise every morning as the Bridegroom comes and chased away the darkness… and in spite of all the pain and difficulties, to smile at my Beloved and love and trust Him, what a merciful gift to have been set free to love Him!
Just started today and I couldn’t have been happier, God is good and moves in mysterious ways! The word is alive and always good no matter how many times I’ve read it. This is super encouraging!
I just started today also! So great to start today by reading the encouraging words. God reminded me today He delights in me and He is my Rock. sstronghold.
I know that no one may read this comment as I started this in July and am playing massive catchup but I loved in the first Psalm how it paints the Lord as hearing our distress in his temple and dropping everything to come to our defense, angry at our enemy. That is an amazing picture and so strengthening in times of turmoil and struggle. In the second Psalm, while I did love the closing verses, what stood out to me was the beginning about how Gods glory is seen in the wordless heavens. Nobody has ever been able to explain everything from a scientific standpoint and when you learn more and more about our galaxies and the delicate balance everything is in, to think that it was all just coincidence after coincidence after lucky break is just ludicrous. The heavens prove that there is an almighty God and creator and it says so here, thousands of years ago. If anything, there is more to “prove” that true now. :) I hope I make sense
14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
My dad closes all of his sermons this way. It’s like a warm blanket for the soul
The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness Psalm18:20. Whenever we feel weak it is because our relationship with Him is weak. We are imperfect, incomplete, we are humans. Only through Him are we made strong.
If you believe in Him, your rewards will be so great! You have all of his love and protection. He will take care of you for eternity. His judgements are the only ones that matter.
I think this passage shows the strength that God has. I’m so glad to serve a God so good and trustworthy and powerful. He will not be defeated. His very breath scatters our enemies. Stay strong today ladies. In the name of Jesus the enemy MUST flee
I am so glad I read this today. Our God is so good. He delights in us even when we don’t deserve it. He gives us strength when we need it and pulls us out of deep waters when we aren’t strong enough. What a caring, loving God we serve.
I love psalm 18! I love knowing that there is someone out there willing to always stand up for me, to cheer me on, to listen to me, someone who will fight for me and who is always offering a shoulder to cry on.
19:14 “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
That’s exactly how I felt reading this. 19:14 is my favorite verse of the whole thing. I feel like if I got up every morning and said that to him, I would have a much clearer outlook on my days.
47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
This verse lines up with the sermon I heard this Sunday. I was planning to get revenge…but was told to stand still and see the salvation of The Lord …and I will do exactly that!!
Ps 18:19 is still on if my favorite verses!! He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Prayed it often on days when my 2bedroom trailer just didn’t seem to have enough space for our four kids!! Now I live on a mountain top!! Thankful that he has enlarged my heart with love for my kids too
I have been fighting my enemies for a long time and each time I want to stop, each time my enemy has brought me to my knees The Lord has filled my heart with determination that some people pray for all the time. My story is one of hardship and struggle, but also one of determination and rescuing by The Lord my god. I thank him everyday for my life no matter how many obstacles.
I love how God points out his love for us over and over again thought psalms. He’s constantly reminding us that even before the cross he was intervening on our behalf due to his love for us.
Isn’t God wonderful! He lets us know each and every day how awesome is he! We may not see the good in thugs always but he is there even when we cannot see.
God is certainly my strength and He knows my faults and with each passing day I know if I will lean on Him and trust Him He will see me thru. I am an overcomer!
2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold
That right there is what I needed ❤️❤️
6 In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.
Our God hears his children crying for help and comes, furious with the enemy, to scoop us out of our trepidation!! Just like any parent would run to the rescue of a child in danger.
Today is the first day I’ve read the verses in Psalms and felt them resonate with me. I’ve loved all of the daily readings, except Psalms. I have been struggling with them, feeling that when I read the comments afterwards I must have read a different passage. But today, I hear it, I know it.
This stood out to me
“They confronted me on the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support.”
Praise Him!!! Praise Him!!! Praise Him!!! He is and will always be there! Amen! We all face trials and temptation in this world but remembering God is ur support system to fall on during not only the bad but to Praise during the good! Its doesn’t always come naturally to me but studying more and more in the Word and keeping daily devotionals like this helps to keep me on track!
I never understood when people would say “God speaks to me” or “I talk with Him everyday”. I am 31 years old and my struggle with my faith I feel is coming to an end. It all makes since to me now. These past few weeks, I have heard His voice in so many aspects of my life and my marriage and I can’t wait to see what He has in store for me. I’m very excited to be starting this reading plan today. A few days of catching up but will all be worth it!
Jehovah has recently proven to me he is always here for me and shows me his love everyday and I think reading this was the perfect timing because I’ve struggled with knowing that a prayer to him when I’m struggling is all I need to see he’s there to help us.
God, please be with me. I need you now more than ever. I wish to also pray for family and friends who are hurting and in pain. Please protect them and keep them in perfect peace. Amen ♥️
“The precepts of the Lord are right, giving to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant giving light to the eyes.” I really needed to hear this today after ending a relationship that I felt God was putting on my heart to end.
I’m confused….wasn’t this written by David? than how can he say he is blameless and has not veered from righteousness when he fell I. love with a married woman had he husband killed and had a child with her?
I believe he wrote this before he commited adultery with Bathsheba and killed her husband. It says at the beggining of psalm 18 that he sang this song on the day the Lord rescued him from all his enemies and from Saul. The bible talks about Sauls death in 1 Samuel 31, and it only talks about David and Bathesheba in 2 Samuel 11. I asked myself the same question at first
I wish non-Christians, people who I talk to about God, would see Him as I see Him: compassionate, loving, faithful…but these verses (25-27) in chapter 18 show that until God changes the heart, the person who I am ministering to cannot see the true nature of God b/c they are blinded…so it is I who must tell of the true nature of God.
This is a breakthrough for the way I now minister to others!
7. The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
So often people think of God’s word as limiting and requiring sacrifice. But this Psalm so beautifully speaks of the truth of God’s commands. He wants to protect us, refresh us and give us joy!!!
Luke 18:28 “My God turns my darkness into light.” This is the valiant warrior David saying this. He gave God credit for whatever enemies & suffering he endured. And within, there are dark places in all of us and God is changing us! Been at Passion2015 all weekend—may we never lose the wonder!
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD…” What a beautiful daily prayer this should be in my Christian walk. Not only do I want to speak with grace but I want to meditate on the things of above. I long for my thoughts, actions, and meditations to be on Heavenly things, acceptable to my God, my Savior.
18:25 With the faithful
You prove Yourself faithful;
with the blameless man
You prove Yourself blameless;
26 with the pure
You prove Yourself pure,
but with the crooked
You prove Yourself shrewd.
May we be faithful, blameless, and pure in His sight.
30God — His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. 31For who is God besides Yahweh? And who is a rock? Only our God. 32God — He clothes me with strength and makes my way perfect….Aren’t these the most truest of words.. If we just believe and trust in Him…
Good morning. I couldn’t have started this devotional at a better time. Last Sunday at noon my mom and I were robbed at gunpoint. As I watch the man approach my car, gun pointing at me I felt scared but I also felt strong. strong. I felt God’s grace and his shield protect us from the enemy. Praise be to God. I will recount all of his blessings.
I thank God for your protection in such an overwhelming event! I will be praying for God’s justice and his continued protection of you and your mom in this situation.
Whenever I see the imagery of the shield used I get so excited because the specific type of shield described by the Hebrew is not a little circle but one big enough to cover a whole person, one that could be used as shield wall in battle with other soldiers. We have a shield in God that covers our whole body and when linked with others a defense to hold back an army
Thanks for pointing that out! How rich a picture of His love and provision, and individuals, and even more, the beauty and purpose of the body of believers.
Good morning friends! Wow..just starting off with Psalm 18. I could rest in the opening verses: 1 I love you, Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
And Psalm 19 is one of my absolute favorites. Have a blessed Sunday everyone!
I agree Leah! I stopped at “my strength” and thought if I didn’t read anything else today that was exactly what the Lord wanted me to remember. Love these verses.
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you Dear Lord”. This is a prayer I pray everyday. Have a wonderful Sunday ladies, it’s beautiful out here in So Cal. Enjoy,xoxo
I am new to faith and am finding so much strength through not only the words in the bible but through the beautiful comments showing the meaning in your lives. Thank you and I pray that the sins of my past will be forgiven and that’s road can now be pure. I pray for the strength to seek you every day.
Alleluia!! Welcome home, sister! Praying for you that He would bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you! (Psalm 67). Love you in Christ!
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
What an excellent reminder to us to live in the Word and not of the world. And to keep our heart pure so that our mouths will speak kindness. It is a daily struggle, but the reward is SO worth it.
We had a pastor (retired now and living near by) who always and still does, quote this verse at the end of his sermons. I always took it that no matter what was said it was filtered for each of us in our need. Human thoughts about our Rock and Savior!
12 “But who can discern their own errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.” So true. We easily see the sins of others. Search me, Lord, and show me my faults.
There are so many wonderful truths and encouraging phrases in these passages. One that caught my attention this time is, “He delights in me.” Wow! We all go through times where we feel lonely, unwanted, unappreciated. But, God delights in us! Who better than He?
19 He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.
I also needed to hear this today. That I’m loved regardless of my inequity and sin. What an amazing God
The Lord is my rock ❤️
This was a great passge
I love you, God! I trust you. Amen!
I need your strength Lord.
Our God is a faithful God! Amen

May I reflect God in all I do and say to glorify him
So much here! Need to rest in these words for a while today! Psalm 18 tells us how we are rewarded when we seek God. We are rescued, rewarded, repaid, clothed with strength, trained, given a shield of salvation, freed, appointed, we are given the victory! These are just a few. Who is like our God? No one! ❤️
May we all be praying for our words and meditations be acceptable to Him. Not only our verbal words but written as well. What we post matters too!
People are watching our actions and we can not speak verbally one way and be a completely different person online
Amen. ❤️
Such beautiful word is in psalms today! Our lord is our rock and loves us beyond measure
Loved these Psalms!! When we hold steadfast in our strength, love and faith for God, he will redeem us from our worldly sins and deliver us to eternal life. God is our rock and redeemer.

I’ve been learning to obey because I am already accepted, not that I obey therefore I am accepted. This passage reminded me how sweet is can be to obey the Lord… his decrees are more precious than gold and sweeter than honeycombs… his commands are radiant and give light.
“The Lord is the rock and my fortress”. I mean, this is so incredibly powerful. It was exactly what I needed to hear today. Despite difficult times, I know I can rely on the Lord to bring me through.
I loved this entrance as well. It really speaks to the position our hearts and minds should be in throughout the day.
I love this psalm is a declaration of Gods protection in our lives.
18:6 shows us how he hears our prayers even if it seems as if He’s on the other end of the world. When we are going through troubled times we tend to think “God is not with me” or “He doesn’t hear me” but his word says he is near the broken hearted. All we have to do is cry out to him because walking with God is not based on whether if I feel him = He is with me. It is based on if I feel him or not He is there and we will hear my cry.
❤️
May I give praise and glory to You all my life. Like David, who’s faith is deep and abounding in love for the Lord.
Thank you Lord for your love !
God is trying to say that he protects you from sins and that the wicked cry out to you but God does not hear them. God is good and he wants you to be with him in heaven and he didn’t mean for us to be in a world with sin. The wicked are trying to keep us from God but they never can beat him.
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me!
God is so good, he’s my deliverer
God is always listening -ellie
7The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
9The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever.
The decrees of the Lord are firm,
and all of them are righteous.
Oh, how I needed this! A reminder of His sovereignty, the ways His word remain living & active.
2The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I’ve been meditating on these verses today and it just gave me so much peace. If you’re new to the plan, I encourage you to slow down and truly take it all in rather than rush through the reading. I know it’s easier said than done. This is my third year reading, and first time I’m pondering what I’m reading and looking up verses that I don’t understand. I believe that there is always a word that God wants us to see during these readings. Be blessed!
Thank you for that encouragement & reminder Isabel.
My rock and redeemer, now and always❤️
Surprised by His love
So much goodness in these passages
28For it is you who light my lamp;
the Lord my God lightens my darkness.

Arg! Youd think I would have noticed that! Thanks for pointing it out, its been corrected.

There are so many names for God in this chapter, I am making a list as I read the Bible of how many names there are for Him. How many have you counted?
I have neglected my relationship from God for awhile now. No reason in particular but I have been having that feeling to open my bible to read his word to learn and this hit me right where I needed. I want to be back on the right path in my relationship with him and reading this is just what I needed.
Yes!
As he opens his arms, and we walk in allows us to open our minds and hearts to allow his love to protect us from all evil. Doesn’t matter how many times you cry out he is always willing to give you his heart which is just sooo amazing that he uses all his mighty power and he will defeat all enemies apon you, giving you the strength the determination the love to help you win each and ever battle, you will never be alone you will never face anything alone you’ll always have god as his just amazing!
I have sinned many and the lord blesses me nonstop. Not in materialistic things but in life in general, I wake to see another day, take another step, another breath, I can go on forever. I feel so unworthy of his blessings devotion because I don’t thank him everyday. I’m so glad I downloaded this app, it’ll keep me closer to him
I know what you mean. It’s so easy to get side tracked with every day life that we lose track of what’s most important. “The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul” I love that feeling of revival. These lessons really help me feel closer to the Lord too.
I love this message. It’s so touching and can really have an impact on your every day lifestyle
His love is so unfailing and protecting ! How amazing that when I cry out he hears my cry and in anger defeats my enemies. He gives me the strength within to win the battle each and every time in his light !!! God is amazing !
16 He sent from on high, he took me;
he drew me out of many waters.
17 He rescued me from my strong enemy
and from those who hated me,
for they were too mighty for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the Lord was my support.
19 He brought me out into a broad place;
he rescued me, because he delighted in me.
So encouraging this morning to hear that He delights in me! ❤
His love for me is far greater than I could ever imagine! He can move the earth when I cry to Him! What a great way to start the day!
I absolutely LOVE the Message version of Psalm 19…it paints the Psalm in such a beautiful way. So excited to be in a new month and thankful God has given me the obedience to stay faithful for a whole month with this plan!
2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
-i need to remember this one. He is always there because He is my rock, not some boy or a friend could look at my sins and take them in. He is my rock.
Amen to that! :)
1 I love you, O Lord, my strength.
We are all blessed! There can come a time where we just want to give up, but all things happen for a reason. Pray everyday, and prayers will be heard.
It’s so refreshing to read the psalms! In Job it’s all so dark and heavy. It’s such a delight to worship God for his amazing attributes and to celebrate His creative power and His word!! Like breathing fresh air!!
wow… a quick comment. i like to think of God’s hands as a tightrope: every time you feel down, you have merely stumbled, not fallen. get back up !! <3
Great perspective and picture! Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Awesome reading!
“With your help I can advance against a troop ;
with my God I can scale a wall.”
Let us believe this truth whole heartedly and with full assurance!
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Please pray for me.
Praying.
this chapter makes me feel good
He delights in me!!! The creator of the universe delights in ME!!!
Great chapter
My little sister memorized the whole chapter of Psalm 19 and I think that if a five year old girl can memorizething then we can certainly do the sam
That’s amazing. God bless your little sister:)
14 “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
I want to make this my prayer every morning.
18 v. 30 “God’s way is perfect.” And the law has so much for us – 19 v. 7-11! It revives the soul, makes us wise, brings joy to the heart, lasts forever, is fair, gives us insight for living, warns us, and rewards us. Thank you for the law and your plans for us, Lord!
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.
God is always listening. God hears our cries. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness. Thank you Lord for your love. THANK YOU for being our rock, our salvation!
My phone was being weird, so disregard the last part
Psalm 18:25-36 is absolutely incredible! incrediblEveEveryone
For it is you who light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens mydarkness.
May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to You,
Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
Such a beautiful prayer!! Lord let it be true of me!
Hey everyone, this doesn’t have anything to do with the passage today. But, if anyone would like to follow an Instagram page I found, I think that you’ll be interested. It’s FindTheBiblePassItOn
The person running it wants to start a movement to give Bibles to the world whenever you can. It’s really interesting and I hope you’ll check it out
Happy One Month into our journey through the Bible!❤️
Yes!!!
Woohoo!
Psalm 18:16-19 But me he caught — reached all the way
from sky to sea; he pulled me out
Of that ocean of hate, that enemy chaos,
the void in which I was drowning.
They hit me when I was down,
but God stuck by me.
He stood me up on a wide-open field;
I stood there saved — surprised to be loved!
This is the incredible thing that happened to me last night! I am so so excited for the course God has me on! I was drowning is a sea of torment and confusion that the enemy had wrapped around me. But GOD. He picked me and set me in a firm wide open space and spoke love and courage and hope into my heart!!! I’m so so thankful I went up to the conference at Aunt Kathy and Carlos and Patricia’s church!!! Wow!!! Just wow!!! ALL THE MINISTRY TEAM BLEW MY SOCKS OFF!!! And Dr. Dan Hammer and his assistant were RIGHT ON!!!
I just loved this today! The way it’s so comforting but also warning in a way. God is good. We should love him and want our lives to reflect that. He is worth much more than any amount of money and we should want nothing more than to live for him. Even when people discourage us, or persecute us, God remains faithful to us and will see us through the storms! As long as we don’t turn our backs on him, he will always help us. And even if we do, he’ll be
Waiting for us to turn back with open arms.
1 I love you, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
What perfect words for a Monday morning!! Thanks Lord ❤️
18:28 You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.
God will deliver us always.
my God turns my darkness into light.
I just started late yesterday, and both today and yesterday’s readings have been so good. The Lord’s timing is so good. It’s crazy how He knows exactly what words we need, and knows exactly how to encourage us. Thank you, Lord. We praise you because you are so good and faithful!
I just started today, and God’s timing is so perfect!
“Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults!” — YES LORD, please forgive us for the things we never meant to do or that we don’t even know are sins! You are so good to us , Lord; knowing we would sin even without solid knowledge of it, sending your son to shed his blood for our sins, and providing us a way to pray for these unknown transgressions via Your word. Thank You!
So thankful for His law and His wisdom, His faithfulness and hope in Him, the beautiful sunrise every morning as the Bridegroom comes and chased away the darkness… and in spite of all the pain and difficulties, to smile at my Beloved and love and trust Him, what a merciful gift to have been set free to love Him!
truly beautiful and always timely.
Just started today and I couldn’t have been happier, God is good and moves in mysterious ways! The word is alive and always good no matter how many times I’ve read it. This is super encouraging!
I just started today also! So great to start today by reading the encouraging words. God reminded me today He delights in me and He is my Rock. sstronghold.
wow i so needed this today x
I know that no one may read this comment as I started this in July and am playing massive catchup but I loved in the first Psalm how it paints the Lord as hearing our distress in his temple and dropping everything to come to our defense, angry at our enemy. That is an amazing picture and so strengthening in times of turmoil and struggle. In the second Psalm, while I did love the closing verses, what stood out to me was the beginning about how Gods glory is seen in the wordless heavens. Nobody has ever been able to explain everything from a scientific standpoint and when you learn more and more about our galaxies and the delicate balance everything is in, to think that it was all just coincidence after coincidence after lucky break is just ludicrous. The heavens prove that there is an almighty God and creator and it says so here, thousands of years ago. If anything, there is more to “prove” that true now. :) I hope I make sense
Great thoughts! There’s no way it could have been done without God! Glad I’m not the only one who started late :)
14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
My dad closes all of his sermons this way. It’s like a warm blanket for the soul
The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness Psalm18:20. Whenever we feel weak it is because our relationship with Him is weak. We are imperfect, incomplete, we are humans. Only through Him are we made strong.
If you believe in Him, your rewards will be so great! You have all of his love and protection. He will take care of you for eternity. His judgements are the only ones that matter.
His laws are perfect & trustworthy. Amen!
Gods words are so true and righteous
Overwhelmed with Gods grace
So excited about this one
my God my strength
Overwhelmed with Gods provision, protection and great love for His children!
Yes Emily whoo hoo !!
I think this passage shows the strength that God has. I’m so glad to serve a God so good and trustworthy and powerful. He will not be defeated. His very breath scatters our enemies. Stay strong today ladies. In the name of Jesus the enemy MUST flee
I am so glad I read this today. Our God is so good. He delights in us even when we don’t deserve it. He gives us strength when we need it and pulls us out of deep waters when we aren’t strong enough. What a caring, loving God we serve.
Psalm 18 was exactly what I needed tonight.
I love psalm 18! I love knowing that there is someone out there willing to always stand up for me, to cheer me on, to listen to me, someone who will fight for me and who is always offering a shoulder to cry on.
19:14 “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
That’s exactly how I felt reading this. 19:14 is my favorite verse of the whole thing. I feel like if I got up every morning and said that to him, I would have a much clearer outlook on my days.
47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
This verse lines up with the sermon I heard this Sunday. I was planning to get revenge…but was told to stand still and see the salvation of The Lord …and I will do exactly that!!
Ps 18:19 is still on if my favorite verses!! He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Prayed it often on days when my 2bedroom trailer just didn’t seem to have enough space for our four kids!! Now I live on a mountain top!! Thankful that he has enlarged my heart with love for my kids too
I have been fighting my enemies for a long time and each time I want to stop, each time my enemy has brought me to my knees The Lord has filled my heart with determination that some people pray for all the time. My story is one of hardship and struggle, but also one of determination and rescuing by The Lord my god. I thank him everyday for my life no matter how many obstacles.
I love how God points out his love for us over and over again thought psalms. He’s constantly reminding us that even before the cross he was intervening on our behalf due to his love for us.
7THE INSTRUCTION OF THE LORD IS PERFECT,
RENEWING ONE’S LIFE;
THE TESTIMONY OF THE Lord is trustworthy,
making the inexperienced wise.
I’m so grateful for God’s steadfast faithfulness. so grateful we can rely on Him even when we can rely on other things in life.
Isn’t God wonderful! He lets us know each and every day how awesome is he! We may not see the good in thugs always but he is there even when we cannot see.
God is certainly my strength and He knows my faults and with each passing day I know if I will lean on Him and trust Him He will see me thru. I am an overcomer!
28 You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.
Keep my lamp burning each and everyday!
18:29 With your help I can run through a barricade; with my God I can scale a wall.
AKA I can do anything!
I struggle with leaning on Him in both good times and bad. I need to take refuge in Him.
So blessed to have God as our rock
2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold
That right there is what I needed ❤️❤️
I love these verses so much. It describes a little of everything that the Lord is to us but at the same time can’t even begin to cover it all.
6 In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.
Our God hears his children crying for help and comes, furious with the enemy, to scoop us out of our trepidation!! Just like any parent would run to the rescue of a child in danger.
Great analogy!
‘Forgive my hidden faults’ sometimes we know not what we do. That really stood to me
Today is the first day I’ve read the verses in Psalms and felt them resonate with me. I’ve loved all of the daily readings, except Psalms. I have been struggling with them, feeling that when I read the comments afterwards I must have read a different passage. But today, I hear it, I know it.
I feel the same way, I feel like I read the wrong one. Maybe God wants us to really dig deep into Psalms. Just pray for guidance :)
God works in so many ways and I am so blessed to have someone who I can always count on. The lord is good.
This stood out to me
“They confronted me on the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support.”
Praise Him!!! Praise Him!!! Praise Him!!! He is and will always be there! Amen! We all face trials and temptation in this world but remembering God is ur support system to fall on during not only the bad but to Praise during the good! Its doesn’t always come naturally to me but studying more and more in the Word and keeping daily devotionals like this helps to keep me on track!
I never understood when people would say “God speaks to me” or “I talk with Him everyday”. I am 31 years old and my struggle with my faith I feel is coming to an end. It all makes since to me now. These past few weeks, I have heard His voice in so many aspects of my life and my marriage and I can’t wait to see what He has in store for me. I’m very excited to be starting this reading plan today. A few days of catching up but will all be worth it!
Praise God for revealing himself in his word to you!
“He rescued me because he delighted in me” ❤️
Jehovah has recently proven to me he is always here for me and shows me his love everyday and I think reading this was the perfect timing because I’ve struggled with knowing that a prayer to him when I’m struggling is all I need to see he’s there to help us.
Jehovah?
Loved these 2 psalms. God is always with us and always protecting those whom He loves
God, please be with me. I need you now more than ever. I wish to also pray for family and friends who are hurting and in pain. Please protect them and keep them in perfect peace. Amen ♥️
Echoing this prayer, Kristina. Love to you, friend!
xoxo-Kaitlin for She Reads Truth
“The precepts of the Lord are right, giving to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant giving light to the eyes.” I really needed to hear this today after ending a relationship that I felt God was putting on my heart to end.
Praise God, He knows best and has so much more in store for you
Trust Him ❤️
39 You armed me with strength for battle;
you humbled my adversaries before me.
He is all powerful and it is amazing! This really shows his power!
I’m confused….wasn’t this written by David? than how can he say he is blameless and has not veered from righteousness when he fell I. love with a married woman had he husband killed and had a child with her?
I believe he wrote this before he commited adultery with Bathsheba and killed her husband. It says at the beggining of psalm 18 that he sang this song on the day the Lord rescued him from all his enemies and from Saul. The bible talks about Sauls death in 1 Samuel 31, and it only talks about David and Bathesheba in 2 Samuel 11. I asked myself the same question at first
I love this it truly shows how awesome our God is!
19 “He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.”
HE RESCUED ME BECAUSE HE DELIGHTED IN ME.
This stopped me dead in my tracks today. ❤️
I wish non-Christians, people who I talk to about God, would see Him as I see Him: compassionate, loving, faithful…but these verses (25-27) in chapter 18 show that until God changes the heart, the person who I am ministering to cannot see the true nature of God b/c they are blinded…so it is I who must tell of the true nature of God.
This is a breakthrough for the way I now minister to others!
This concept resonated with me as well today.
7. The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
So often people think of God’s word as limiting and requiring sacrifice. But this Psalm so beautifully speaks of the truth of God’s commands. He wants to protect us, refresh us and give us joy!!!
Luke 18:28 “My God turns my darkness into light.” This is the valiant warrior David saying this. He gave God credit for whatever enemies & suffering he endured. And within, there are dark places in all of us and God is changing us! Been at Passion2015 all weekend—may we never lose the wonder!
30 As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.
Flawless. His plans are greater than ours!
Psalms is always so uplifting and strengthening to the soul!!! Everyone’s comments have also been encouraging! May God Bless each one of you!
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD…” What a beautiful daily prayer this should be in my Christian walk. Not only do I want to speak with grace but I want to meditate on the things of above. I long for my thoughts, actions, and meditations to be on Heavenly things, acceptable to my God, my Savior.
Amen! Meditation of my HEART!
18:25 With the faithful
You prove Yourself faithful;
with the blameless man
You prove Yourself blameless;
26 with the pure
You prove Yourself pure,
but with the crooked
You prove Yourself shrewd.
May we be faithful, blameless, and pure in His sight.
“For You light my lamp; The Lord my God illumines my darkness”. Reminds me of the NT where Jesus is called the “Light of the World”.
Such a good visual. His light take us out of darkness.
30God — His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. 31For who is God besides Yahweh? And who is a rock? Only our God. 32God — He clothes me with strength and makes my way perfect….Aren’t these the most truest of words.. If we just believe and trust in Him…
Psalm 19 has got to be one of my favorite psalms!
Same here!!!!! I basically bookmarked the whole chapter!!
Me too :)
Good morning. I couldn’t have started this devotional at a better time. Last Sunday at noon my mom and I were robbed at gunpoint. As I watch the man approach my car, gun pointing at me I felt scared but I also felt strong. strong. I felt God’s grace and his shield protect us from the enemy. Praise be to God. I will recount all of his blessings.
I thank God for your protection in such an overwhelming event! I will be praying for God’s justice and his continued protection of you and your mom in this situation.
Wow! So thankful for protection and safety! Glad you are safe and thankful for God’s shield over you.
That’s a crazy story! Praise God for his peace and protection over you!
Amazing. Glory to God in the highest.
Whenever I see the imagery of the shield used I get so excited because the specific type of shield described by the Hebrew is not a little circle but one big enough to cover a whole person, one that could be used as shield wall in battle with other soldiers. We have a shield in God that covers our whole body and when linked with others a defense to hold back an army
Thanks for pointing that out! How rich a picture of His love and provision, and individuals, and even more, the beauty and purpose of the body of believers.
I love that! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for sharing that!! Learned something new today!!!
Good morning friends! Wow..just starting off with Psalm 18. I could rest in the opening verses: 1 I love you, Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
And Psalm 19 is one of my absolute favorites. Have a blessed Sunday everyone!
So agree, Leah! I too stopped there, closed my eyes and rested in that love.
I agree Leah! I stopped at “my strength” and thought if I didn’t read anything else today that was exactly what the Lord wanted me to remember. Love these verses.
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you Dear Lord”. This is a prayer I pray everyday. Have a wonderful Sunday ladies, it’s beautiful out here in So Cal. Enjoy,xoxo
What a great and encouraging word for today! “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge…”
I am new to faith and am finding so much strength through not only the words in the bible but through the beautiful comments showing the meaning in your lives. Thank you and I pray that the sins of my past will be forgiven and that’s road can now be pure. I pray for the strength to seek you every day.
He loves you sister! Praying for you that God would bless you with His presence and love as you seek Him!
Alleluia!! Welcome home, sister! Praying for you that He would bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you! (Psalm 67). Love you in Christ!
May God continue to pour out his love for you daily through His Word!!! Blessings to you!
13 Moreover, keep Your servant from willful sins;
do not let them rule over me.
This is a prayer to pray often, for ourselves, for our husbands.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
What an excellent reminder to us to live in the Word and not of the world. And to keep our heart pure so that our mouths will speak kindness. It is a daily struggle, but the reward is SO worth it.
We had a pastor (retired now and living near by) who always and still does, quote this verse at the end of his sermons. I always took it that no matter what was said it was filtered for each of us in our need. Human thoughts about our Rock and Savior!
I use that verse as a prayer some days to help me stay focused. I read somewhere that it actually is a traditional Jewish prayer
I also love this prayer! Growing up, I had a pastor who would pray this before every sermon. A great one to start your day with too!
12 “But who can discern their own errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.” So true. We easily see the sins of others. Search me, Lord, and show me my faults.
Yes..that stood out to me today too. What a powerful way to pray!
The LORD is my rock……..Absolutely!!
There are so many wonderful truths and encouraging phrases in these passages. One that caught my attention this time is, “He delights in me.” Wow! We all go through times where we feel lonely, unwanted, unappreciated. But, God delights in us! Who better than He?
You gave me my Hope for the day!:)
Oh what verse was this? I think my translation must have said something different.
19 He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.
Beautiful! Thank you
19 He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.
I also needed to hear this today. That I’m loved regardless of my inequity and sin. What an amazing God
His love is deeper and wider than anything we could ever know.
This word- delights- also stood out to me so much. It’s a crazy idea that the author of the universe would delight in sinful, imperfect me.
