READ

Proverbs 31:10-31

Weekend Reflection

We are back to the Psalms, for our fourth and final read through during this reading plan (which ends at the end of 2025). And where do we begin? With Psalm 1 and the great mid-summer reminder in that Psalm.

The blessed man – the one who delights in the Lord - is like a tree, planted by streams of water, while the wicked are like chaff. It takes a gentle breeze to blow chaff away, while a tree can withstand gale-force winds! Don’t you want to be like a tree? 

As you read through the Scriptures for the remainder of this year, ask the Lord to stir up your delight in them. Meditate, just as Psalm 1 suggests, and cultivate a deep love and obedience to God’s Word. If you do that, you will be like a tree, and that is far better than being like chaff. 

PRAY

For the month July in our Daily Worship, we will be praying through our Five Loves during the week and our Mission and Vision statements on the weekend.  

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” – Psalm 119:105 

“do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” – Philippians 4:6 

When we say that we love God we’re not saying that we merely love the idea of God. We love the person of God. The remarkable truth is that God, the sovereign creator, and ruler of the universe, personally communicates with us and invites us to communicate with him. This happens through His word and prayer. 

If you’re reading the Daily Worship posts on the app, then it’s clear you’re seeking to make personal worship a priority in your life. That’s great! Our desire at Faith is that each and every one of us would grow in the discipline of reading the word daily and praying.  

• Thank God for his word and that he has spoken to you through it. 
• Meditate upon a portion of God’s word that you read today in your reading. 
• Ask God to grow your love for his word and for God’s Spirit to use it to make you more like Christ. 
• Confess to God if you haven’t loved his word and prayer as you ought.  
• Trust God’s promises of forgiveness through Jesus Christ. 

Ask God to grow others in our church in their times of personal worship.
