December 31, 2025, Psalm 132:1-18 132  Remember, O  Lord , in David's favor,      all the hardships he endured, 2  how he swore to the  Lord      and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, 3  “I will not enter my house      or get into my bed, 4  I will not give sleep to my eyes      or slumber to my eyelids, 5  until I find a place for the  Lord ,      a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” 6  Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;      we found it in the fields of Jaar. 7  “Let us go to his dwelling place;      let us worship at his footstool!” 8  Arise, O  Lord , and go to your resting place,      you and the ark of your might. 9  Let your priests be clothed with righteousn...

December 30, 2025, Psalm 131:1-3 131  O  Lord , my heart is not lifted up;      my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things      too great and too marvelous for me. 2  But I have calmed and quieted my soul,      like a weaned child with its mother;      like a weaned child is my soul within me. 3  O Israel, hope in the  Lord      from this time forth and forevermore. Has pride crept into your life in some way, or have you kept a guard against it? How can we guard against pride occupying our life? How does God view our pride? Debbie Walker

December 29, 2025, Psalm 130:1-8 130  Out of the depths I cry to you, O  Lord ! 2       O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive      to the voice of my pleas for mercy! 3  If you, O  Lord , should mark iniquities,      O Lord, who could stand? 4  But with you there is forgiveness,      that you may be feared. 5  I wait for the  Lord , my soul waits,      and in his word I hope; 6  my soul waits for the Lord      more than watchmen for the morning,      more than watchmen for the morning. 7  O Israel, hope in the  Lord !      For with the  Lord  there is steadfast love,      and with him is plentiful redemption. 8  And he will redeem Israel ...

December 28, 2025, Psalm 129:1-8 129  “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”—      let Israel now say— 2  “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth,      yet they have not prevailed against me. 3  The plowers plowed upon my back;      they made long their furrows.” 4  The  Lord  is righteous;      he has cut the cords of the wicked. 5  May all who hate Zion      be put to shame and turned backward! 6  Let them be like the grass on the housetops,      which withers before it grows up, 7  with which the reaper does not fill his hand      nor the binder of sheaves his arms, 8  nor do those who pass by say,      “The blessing of the  Lord  be upon you!      We bless you i...

December 27, 2025, Psalm 128:1-6 128  Blessed is everyone who fears the  Lord ,      who walks in his ways! 2  You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;      you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. 3  Your wife will be like a fruitful vine      within your house; your children will be like olive shoots      around your table. 4  Behold, thus shall the man be blessed      who fears the  Lord . 5  The  Lord  bless you from Zion!      May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem      all the days of your life! 6  May you see your children's children!      Peace be upon Israel! What is life like for those who walk in a love relationship with God? How would life be different if we did not know God personally? Thin...

December 26, 2025, Psalm 127:1-5 127  Unless the  Lord  builds the house,      those who build it labor in vain. Unless the  Lord  watches over the city,      the watchman stays awake in vain. 2  It is in vain that you rise up early      and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil;      for he gives to his beloved sleep. 3  Behold, children are a heritage from the  Lord ,      the fruit of the womb a reward. 4  Like arrows in the hand of a warrior      are the children of one's youth. 5  Blessed is the man      who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame      when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. Are you exhausting yourself trying to achieve success when God wants to bless you, if you will tru...

December 25, 2025, Psalm 126:1-6 126  When the  Lord  restored the fortunes of Zion,      we were like those who dream. 2  Then our mouth was filled with laughter,      and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations,      “The  Lord  has done great things for them.” 3  The  Lord  has done great things for us;      we are glad. 4  Restore our fortunes, O  Lord ,      like streams in the Negeb! 5  Those who sow in tears      shall reap with shouts of joy! 6  He who goes out weeping,      bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy,      bringing his sheaves with him. Are you determined to persevere in prayer and effort until revival comes? How sweet would it be if our land was swept with a revival ...

December 24, 2025, Psalm 125:1-5 125  Those who trust in the  Lord  are like Mount Zion,      which cannot be moved, but abides forever. 2  As the mountains surround Jerusalem,      so the  Lord  surrounds his people,      from this time forth and forevermore. 3  For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest      on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous stretch out      their hands to do wrong. 4  Do good, O  Lord , to those who are good,      and to those who are upright in their hearts! 5  But those who turn aside to their crooked ways      the  Lord  will lead away with evildoers!      Peace be upon Israel! How are you trusting God to address the wicked people in your life? Debbi...

December 23, 2025, Psalm 124:1-8 124  If it had not been the  Lord  who was on our side—      let Israel now say— 2  if it had not been the  Lord  who was on our side      when people rose up against us, 3  then they would have swallowed us up alive,      when their anger was kindled against us; 4  then the flood would have swept us away,      the torrent would have gone over us; 5  then over us would have gone      the raging waters. 6  Blessed be the  Lord ,      who has not given us      as prey to their teeth! 7  We have escaped like a bird      from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken,      and we have escaped! 8  Our help is in the name of the  Lord ,      who...

December 22, 2025, Psalm 123:1-4 123  To you I lift up my eyes,      O you who are enthroned in the heavens! 2  Behold, as the eyes of servants      look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant      to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the  Lord  our God,      till he has mercy upon us. 3  Have mercy upon us, O  Lord , have mercy upon us,      for we have had more than enough of contempt. 4  Our soul has had more than enough      of the scorn of those who are at ease,      of the contempt of the proud. How does God’s favor overcome the scorn and contempt of your enemies? Remember He loves you like no other! Debbie Walker

December 21, 2025, Psalm 122:1-9 122  I was glad when they said to me,      “Let us go to the house of the  Lord !” 2  Our feet have been standing      within your gates, O Jerusalem! 3  Jerusalem—built as a city      that is bound firmly together, 4  to which the tribes go up,      the tribes of the  Lord , as was decreed for Israel,      to give thanks to the name of the  Lord . 5  There thrones for judgment were set,      the thrones of the house of David. 6  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!      “May they be secure who love you! 7  Peace be within your walls      and security within your towers!” 8  For my brothers and companions' sake      I will say, “Peace be within you!” 9  For the ...

December 20, 2025, Psalm 121:1-8 121  I lift up my eyes to the hills.      From where does my help come? 2  My help comes from the  Lord ,      who made heaven and earth. 3  He will not let your foot be moved;      he who keeps you will not slumber. 4  Behold, he who keeps Israel      will neither slumber nor sleep. 5  The  Lord  is your keeper;      the  Lord  is your shade on your right hand. 6  The sun shall not strike you by day,      nor the moon by night. 7  The  Lord  will keep you from all evil;      he will keep your life. 8  The  Lord  will keep      your going out and your coming in      from this time forth and forevermore. How reliable i...

December 19, 2025, Psalm 120:1-7 120  In my distress I called to the  Lord ,      and he answered me. 2  Deliver me, O  Lord ,      from lying lips,      from a deceitful tongue. 3  What shall be given to you,      and what more shall be done to you,      you deceitful tongue? 4  A warrior's sharp arrows,      with glowing coals of the broom tree! 5  Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,      that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! 6  Too long have I had my dwelling      among those who hate peace. 7  I am for peace,      but when I speak, they are for war How is life for you when you are separated for long periods of time from God’s worshiping people? Do you feel lost and cry out to God for connection? I am amazed at how...

December 18, 2025, Psalm 119:169-176 169  Let my cry come before you, O  Lord ;      give me understanding according to your word! 170  Let my plea come before you;      deliver me according to your word. 171  My lips will pour forth praise,      for you teach me your statutes. 172  My tongue will sing of your word,      for all your commandments are right. 173  Let your hand be ready to help me,      for I have chosen your precepts. 174  I long for your salvation, O  Lord ,      and your law is my delight. 175  Let my soul live and praise you,      and let your rules help me. 176  I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant,      for I do not forget your commandments. I love verses 175 and 176. The p...

December 17, 2025, Psalm 119:161-168 161  Princes persecute me without cause,      but my heart stands in awe of your words. 162  I rejoice at your word      like one who finds great spoil. 163  I hate and abhor falsehood,      but I love your law. 164  Seven times a day I praise you      for your righteous rules. 165  Great peace have those who love your law;      nothing can make them stumble. 166  I hope for your salvation, O  Lord ,      and I do your commandments. 167  My soul keeps your testimonies;      I love them exceedingly. 168  I keep your precepts and testimonies,      for all my ways are before you. This passage helps us to see that God sees two types of people- those who obey and love God’s Word and those ...
