Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word.
The scripture is from Psalm 118:24-25, “This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it! Save us now, we beg you, Lord! Lord, we beg you, send prosperity now.”
The devotion is titled The Gate is Open by Heather Tietz. Psalm 118:24-25 reminds us that we are no longer imprisoned in sin, stuck in our addictions, lost in our loneliness, hunted by guilt, chained to repeating same mistakes. Why? Heaven is open to all who want God’s gift of Jesus. God made so He could offer us a full, prosperous life full of all genuine goodness, a life overflowing on Earth and life eternal. God has a plan to save everyone who wants to be saved. Heaven’s gate is open for us.
Reflection: Is it possible to be prosperous in a way that doesn’t involve money? What part of your life is especially prosperous?
Here was my response: For me, I can be prosperous in sharing God’s word, praying, rejoicing, and grieving with others.
My Prayer for us: Dear God, we rejoice in Your goodness and in Your love. Thank You for planning our salvation. Thank You for saving us and providing for a prosperous life while we live here on Earth. We will praise Your glory forever. In Jesus’s name we pray, Amen.
