What Does God Sound Like?
An Excerpt from Speak, My Soul If we are to hear our own soul speak, we Read More
Andrea Roth Murdock | Read Psalm 33:1-5
When you have found a trustworthy mechanic, a gentle dentist, or a new favorite workout, you want to share the news. That’s where today’s psalm comes in. When we live faithfully and see the results of mindfulness and commitment to practicing our faith, we feel the blessing of the Lord...
O Lord, I sing your praises even if I can’t carry a tune. You are steadfast, faithful, and worthy of my praise. Amen.
The readings for this week share the theme of our faith and God’s faithfulness. In Genesis, God calls Abram to leave his country and promises to make of him a great nation. Abram has faith in God’s faithfulness and goes. In the Gospel, Matthew follows Jesus immediately, and there are two stories of healings that show great faithfulness. In Romans, Paul explains that God calls Abram and Matthew and us—even though we are all sinners—and reckons our faith as righteousness. The psalmist reminds us that all God’s “work is done in faithfulness.”
Read Genesis 12:1-9. Think of a time you chose to follow God’s leading. How were you blessed by the decision?
Read Psalm 33:1-12. Where have you seen God’s faithful
actions in your life? Among the nations?
Read Romans 4:13-25. How is the promise that our faith will
be reckoned to us as righteousness good news for you?
Read Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26. How is Jesus calling you to get up and follow? What would that kind of faith look like?
