Tuesday: God’s Love
The Gospel for Every Day
Each day, we slow down to align our hearts with God’s Rhythms of Grace.
This series, we examine the portrait of the Extraordinarily Ordinary Christian Life.
This week, we meditate on the theme of God’s Love throughout Scripture.
Today’s Scripture
Human emotions of love or hate are fleeting. They can arise one moment and be gone the next. Psalm 136 praises the Lord for what we can count on forever: his steadfast love woven through all creation.
Reading slowly, let God convict you by his truth and overwhelm you by his grace in Christ.
Psalm 136:1-9
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
2 Give thanks to the God of gods,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
4 to him who alone does great wonders,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
5 to him who by understanding made the heavens,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
6 to him who spread out the earth above the waters,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
7 to him who made the great lights,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
8 the sun to rule over the day,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
9 the moon and stars to rule over the night,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Gospel Meditation
Prayerfully meditate on the Scripture you just read using the rhythm Look Up, Look In, Look Out:
Look Up: What does this reveal about God?
Look In: What does this reveal about me?
Look Out: Where is Christ leading me today?
Closing Prayer
From John 15:9-13
Father,
Thank you for your love. By your Spirit, teach me to abide in your love and keep your commands, that your joy may be in me, and that my joy may be full.
In the name of Jesus, who, the greatest love, laid down his life for his friends,
Amen.
