Do you want your tongue to be wise? Do you see so

Do you want your tongue to be wise?

Do you see someone who speaks in haste?
There is more hope for a fool than for them.
Proverbs 29:20

All-Wise God,
Forgive our foolishness.
Heal our tongues,
which often speak “rashly,
like the thrusts of a sword” (Proverbs 12:18).
We have become deeply enculturated
in a world that is quick to speak
and slow to listen
when you have called us
as citizens of your kingdom
to be “quick to hear,
slow to speak,
slow to anger” (James 1:19).
Lord, we confess to you some of the sins
that slip off our tongues:
comparison,
envy,
judgment,
gossip,
criticism,
slander,
to name just a few.
Change us, Lord,
so that “no evil talk come(s) out of our mouths,
but only what is useful for building up,
as there is need,
so that our words may give grace
to those who hear” (Ephesians 4:29).
Grant us
the loving wisdom,
extraordinary patience,
and sacrificial forgiveness
of your Son
who taught us to love our enemies
and to pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 4:43-44).
In Jesus’s all-wise name. Amen.
Read Proverbs 29.

Do you want to be more like the donkey?

“And the donkey said to Balaam, ‘Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long to this day? Is it my habit to treat you this way?’ Numbers 22:31

King above all Kings,
There is perhaps no more amusing story in Scripture
than the one about the greedy pagan “prophet” Balaam
and his faithful (to you that is) donkey (Numbers 22:7, 15, 18).
We laugh when the donkey refuses to go where Balaam tells her
because she sees the angel of the Lord (Numbers 22:23-27).
Our eyes grow wide when you “open the mouth of the donkey”
and she says, “What have I done to you,
that you have struck me these three times?” (Numbers 22:28).
And yet, through this whole true tale,
you reveal yourself to be King of Kings
and protector of your people.
The evil king of Moab, Balak,
wants Balaam to curse your people,
the Israelites.
But you will not allow Balaam to speak evil against your people,
only a blessing.
You are indeed the Lord of Lords,
the Ruler of Rulers,
the King of Kings.
And you have shared the hope of this message clearly with us
throughout Scripture.
May we be more like your donkey,
who sees your messengers clearly,
who obeys your commands.
In Jesus’s worthy name. Amen.

What helps you grieve with hope? Brothers and sis

What helps you grieve with hope?

Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 1 Thessalonians 4:13

Comforting Lord,
How kind your Word is—
you know that we will grieve when we lose loved ones,
and you don’t tell us not to grieve.
and yet, you remind us
that your return gives us every reason to hope for a brighter day
even as we grieve.
For we know that our loved ones lost to death
are now with you if they trusted in you in this life.
You told the thief on the cross,
“Today, you will be with me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43).
Not only that, but you tell us that one day,
you will return from heaven,
“with a cry of command,
with the voice of an archangel,
and with the sound of the trumpet of God” (1 Thess. 4:16).
In that day, you will raise the bodies of those who died before your return (4:16).
In that day, you will raise the living,
who will oddly (to us) enough,
escort you back to earth to establish your kingdom,
the new heavens and the new earth (4:17).
On that day, we will live in unbroken presence of eternal glory.
For this reason, we do not grieve as those who have no hope (1 Thess. 4:13).
In your name we pray. Amen.
Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

How do you wait?

We too wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. Romans 8:23

Gracious God,
Thank you for giving us every reason to hope,
even as we wait in difficult circumstances—
Some of us are waiting for healing of our bodies,
others are waiting for healing of relationships,
others are waiting for healing of injustice.
The clock is ticking,
and redemption seems to take forever
in this fallen world.
And yet, you have promised us
that one day “the sufferings of this present time”
will not be “worth comparing
to the glory that is to be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18).
Through Jesus’ death and resurrection,
you have secured that promise.
One day, indeed, all suffering will cease,
and we will be like Jesus,
because we will see him as he really and truly is (1 John 3:2).
May we savor this hope
even as we “wait for it with patience” (Romans 8:25).
In Jesus’ hope-giving name. Amen.
Read Romans 8:18-25.

The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him

The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. Revelation 1:1.

Lord Jesus,
How we thank you for the book of “apocalypse”
(the Greek word for “revelation”
from which the title of the book of Revelation comes).
Thanks to this book
and to what you have revealed there,
we can ignore strange predictions
about Zombie apocalypses
that serve as click-bait on our feeds.
The one true apocalypse,
the revelation we desperately need,
is the “unveiling” of your goodness,
the revealing of your trustworthy and true character.
You are the One who has already won the war over evil,
and the One who will finally defeat Satan
in one last cosmic battle.
As Pastor Scotty Smith explains,
“God is using these vivid pictures to show us, in symbols,
the deeper reality of how he is redeeming and restoring his world.”
Thank you for revealing yourself in your Word.
Draw us to study and soak
in the good news
you have revealed about yourself
throughout Scripture,
especially in Revelation.
In your victorious name. Amen.
Read Revelation 1:1-3.
Friends, if you’re confused about the “apocalypse” and Revelation, I highly recommend Scotty Smith’s simple and readable study guide, Revelation: Hope in the Darkness.

In that day, you will raise the living,
who will oddly (to us) enough,
escort you back to earth to establish your kingdom,
the new heavens and the new earth (4:17).
On that day, we will live in unbroken presence of eternal glory.
For this reason, we do not grieve as those who have no hope (1 Thess. 4:13).
In your name we pray. Amen.
Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

How do you wait?

We too wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. Romans 8:23

Gracious God,
Thank you for giving us every reason to hope,
even as we wait in difficult circumstances—
Some of us are waiting for healing of our bodies,

others are waiting for healing of injustice.
The clock is ticking,
and redemption seems to take forever
