Two pilots fell asleep in the middle of their flight over Indonesia. While the commanding pilot had permission to nap once the plane reached cruising altitude, he woke up to find that his co-pilot had also dozed off. The two were asleep for about thirty minutes with more than 150 passengers and crew on board and while at approximately 36,000 feet altitude. The plane had veered off course, but thankfully, the plane still arrived at its destination safely. Human pilots may snooze mid-flight, but we can rest assured that God never falls asleep. I find such comfort in the words of Psalm 121. In eight verses, we’re reminded that God is omniscient, or all-knowing, about our life; omnipresent, or present all throughout our day; and omnipotent, or all-powerful, and can protect us. The psalmist declares that our help comes from God (v. 2). He is our keeper and shade (v. 5), and He guards us from all evil while preserving our soul (v. 7). God never gets tired. “He will not let your foot slip; he who watches over you will not slumber” (v. 3). “The Lord will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore” (v. 8). When we’re wondering if God has forgotten us, we can rest assured that He is at the wheel. He is always awake and watching over us.

Psalms 119:1-16

Today is day 325 and we are studying The Seventh Commandment. 325. What else did Jesus teach concerning this commandment? Jesus also taught that divorce violates God's intention for marriage. (Matthew 19:1–9; Mark 10:1–12) We will conclude today by praying the Samekh Stanza of Psalm 119 which is verses 113-120 found on page 435 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Graham Cooke reveals why intimacy with Jesus is our greatest weapon in spiritual warfare, how David's worship on hillsides created the shield that protected him against Goliath, and why we need to seriously upgrade our rejoicing, thanksgiving, and exultant worship. Discover why worship isn't optional and how Jesus' greatest miracle wasn't His signs and wonders, but His unwavering dedication to the Father's will.**Key Scriptures:**+ Romans 8:16-17. "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together."+ 1 Samuel 17:34-37. "But David said to Saul, 'Your servant used to keep his father's sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it. Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.' Moreover David said, 'The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.'"+ Psalm 23:1-4. "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."+ John 5:19. "Then Jesus answered and said to them, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.'"**Want to explore more?**

Family and friendship are among God’s greatest gifts, yet they can also be some of life’s hardest places to navigate. Today's prayer and devotional from Alicia Searl reflects on a phrase her father often said: “You only get one dose of family.” Over time, grief and loss transformed those words into a deeper truth: “You only get one dose of family, so love them like it’s their last day.” As we enter the Thanksgiving season—a time that often highlights both joy and tension—Scripture calls us to something higher: “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone” (Hebrews 12:14). Peace in relationships doesn’t happen by accident. It requires humility, forgiveness, patience, and a grateful heart. Alicia reminds us that when we invite God into our relationships, He softens our hearts and restores what is broken. Through His Word, the Lord points us toward hope (Jeremiah 29:11), healing (Psalm 147:3), and restoration (1 John 4:20). This season, as you gather around tables and reunite with those you love, consider the sacredness of your time together. Psalm 90:12 urges us to number our days so we may gain a heart of wisdom. Life is brief. Our relationships matter. And every moment of grace, peace, and patience reflects the heart of our relational God. Choose gratitude. Choose peace. Choose love—even when it’s difficult. God is honored in these choices, and He promises to work within them. Today's Bible Reading:“Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.” – Hebrews 12:14 Takeaway Truths God gives us the gift of family and friends for His divine purposes. Peace in relationships requires effort, prayer, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Time with loved ones is sacred and fleeting—choose to use it well. Gratitude softens the heart and opens the door for healing and unity. Let’s Pray Faithful Father, we are so thankful that You give us the gift of family and precious friendships. As a relational God, we know that You command us to cherish and deepen these relationships by nourishing them with love and cultivating peace. Oh, but we need Your help, wisdom, and guidance. Please help us foster a heart of gratitude this beautiful season that softly calls us to see the many blessings You have so graciously provided. Allow us to show and give thanks to those You have so lovingly placed in our lives with our words, actions, and deeds. Grant us the means to be peacemakers and restore hope and healing to relationships that need Your hand of mercy. When various waves of emotions arrive, temper our thoughts, calm our hearts, and soothe our souls with Your Word of Truth. We want to live intentionally, honoring You with our time, because our days here on this side of eternity matter and hold a greater purpose. I am so very thankful that one day all will be restored, and I eagerly anticipate the glory that awaits us as we spend eternity with You, in peace, love, and divine unity. Thank You for that hope. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

True gratitude is more than a warm feeling—it’s a God-designed response that reshapes how we see Him, ourselves, and the people around us. Scripture shows that real thankfulness flows from the heart, is rooted in God’s Word, and grows stronger in every circumstance. When we recognize gratitude as a divine gift rather than a human habit, we begin to see how it transforms our faith, our relationships, and our daily mindset. Highlights Gratitude begins in the heart and naturally overflows into worship (Psalm 9:1). Scripture calls us to give thanks in all circumstances—not just the pleasant ones (1 Thessalonians 5:18). True gratitude doesn’t pick favorites; it thanks God for everything, trusting His goodness (Ephesians 5:20). We thank Jesus for His strength, His calling, and His constant work in our lives (1 Timothy 1:12). Genuine gratitude includes thanking God for fellow believers who walk beside us (Colossians 1:3). Remembering God’s past deeds fuels present praise and future confidence (Psalm 9:1). Gratitude celebrates the grace God pours out on others (1 Corinthians 1:4). We give thanks for the faith growing in believers around the world (Romans 1:8). Gratitude honors the love God cultivates in His people (Ephesians 1:15–16). Remembering others in prayer is itself an act of gratitude (Philippians 1:3). Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Full Transcript Below: What the Bible Teaches about True Gratitude By Lynette Kittle Bible Reading: “And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.” - 1 Thessalonians 2:13 In looking to learn about gratitude, the Bible is our teacher, with God being the author and creator of gratitude. It isn’t a human invention but a God-given response that rises up within us because He created us to express gratitude to Him. In learning to thank Him, it’s where thankfulness spills over to expressing gratitude to those we love and even strangers we interact with on a daily basis. Gratitude isn’t by any means a product of human nature or our fallen world, but rather a divine gift from God above who stirs it up deep within our hearts. Throughout the Bible, God encourages us to give thanks and to show true gratitude. The following are ten true characteristics the Bible teaches about true gratitude. True biblical gratitude comes from the heart. If anyone knew how to express gratitude to God, it’s David. Whether shepherd boy or king, his heart seemed to overflow with it. David teaches us that gratitude is a heart issue, writing in Psalm 9:1, “I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.” True biblical gratitude is for all circumstances. Gratitude has no boundaries, meaning it isn’t reserved for happy times only, which the Apostle Paul knew all too well, experiencing many circumstances in his life, difficult ones. So, if anyone knew how to give thanks in all circumstances, it was him. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, he shares his wisdom, writing, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” True biblical gratitude is for everything. Whether good, bad, or ugly, the Bible teaches that true gratitude makes no exceptions in life. No matter if life is empty or full, we’re called to give thanks to God, focusing on Him and not what’s going on in our lives. As Ephesians 5:20 urges, “Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” True biblical gratitude is given to Jesus for all He does for us. For all the benefits and blessings we receive from Christ Jesus, the Bible teaches us to give thanks. Paul models how in 1 Timothy 1:12, “I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that He considered me trustworthy, appointing me to His service.” True biblical gratitude thanks the Father for fellow believers. True gratitude thanks God for our brothers and sisters in Christ, as Colossians 1:3 encourages. “We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you.” True biblical gratitude remembers God’s wonderful deeds. In Psalm 9:1, David points out the importance of remembering and telling others every wonderful deed God has performed. True biblical gratitude includes thanking God for the grace He gives to others. As 1 Corinthians 1:4 encourages us, “I always thank my God for you because of His grace given to you in Christ Jesus.” True biblical gratitude offers thanks for the faith of others. Paul teaches us how true gratitude thanks God for the faith He gives to those around us, as he wrote in Romans 1:8. “First, “I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.” True biblical gratitude honors love in others. Paul, again, in Ephesians 1:15-16 explains, “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.” True biblical gratitude is expressed in remembering others. As Philippians 1:3 reminds us to give thanks in remembering others. “I thank my God every time I remember you.” Intersecting Faith & Life: Our best teacher when it comes to learning about true gratitude is found in the Bible. As the author of gratitude, no one knows or can teach us more about it than God. He is our authority on how, when, where, and why to express it.

What if my child reaches out and gets rejected for a second time?

In this hymn, William Kethe provides a metrical paraphrase of Psalm 100, in which God's people are called to give Him thanks. Together, we make a joyful noise to God as we come before Him with cheerful voices. The Lord is our God who has created us apart from our merit and strength. The Lord is our Good Shepherd who has made us members of His flock. The Triune God does all of this because of His steadfast love, mercy, and faithfulness, and so we give Him glory now and forever.   Rev. Hans Fiene, pastor at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Crestwood, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study LSB 791, “All People That on Earth Do Dwell.”  To learn more about Prince of Peace, visit princeofpeacecrestwood.com. “Songs and Thankfulness and Praise” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies a variety of hymns of thanksgiving from Lutheran Service Book. Thanksgiving is a way of life for Christians as we realize that all gifts come from God's fatherly love for us. In times of joy and sorrow, we return our thanks to Him for His never-ending goodness and mercy.   Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good.”Psalm 14:1

Should You Take The Bible Literally? Q: I have a friend who has recently grown in their Christian faith, and part of that growth has been a new belief and interest in the Bible. However, this has led them to taking the scripture so literally that they now strongly believe that the earth is flat.  They cite Isaiah 11:12– the four corners of the earth. Psalm 104:5– being set on immovable “foundations” (it will not totter). And Genesis 1:6–8– having a solid firmament. The core of their argument: “If Scripture is God's Word and perfect, why reinterpret it to fit modern science? Shouldn't we interpret science through the Bible—not the Bible through science?” Summary What happens when someone reads the Bible too literally? In this episode, Dr. E responds to a listener's question about a friend who believes the earth is flat—because “the Bible says so.” Dr. E unpacks why context matters in interpretation, using hermeneutics—the grammatical, historical, literal, and theological principles that guide faithful reading. While Scripture is perfect and true, hyper-literalism can distort its meaning when genre, audience, or idiom are ignored.  Dr. E explains that phrases like “the four corners of the earth” or “the eyes of the Lord” are poetic or symbolic, not scientific. God's Word reveals the truth about Himself and His creation—but it's not meant to be a physics textbook. This episode helps believers discern when to take Scripture literally and when to understand it figuratively, so that we honor both the authority and intent of God's Word. Takeaways Good hermeneutics keeps interpretation faithful, not fanciful. The Bible uses poetic and symbolic language to reveal truth. “Four corners of the earth” reflects language, not geography. Hyper-literalism can miss the heart of what God intends to teach. Scripture is sufficient for faith—not a science textbook. Context, audience, and theology must guide every interpretation.

Today's meditation is taken from Psalm 42. We have a yearning for God, for being with God. We were made this way. Sometimes, we don't know why we're sad but our heart knows that God will comfort us in that sadness. Our memories of joy-filled times with others, draw us to seek Jesus and remind us that hope and praise and trust are the essential ingredients for turning our minds from discouragement toward hopefulness.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

The King of glory, might in strength, also is our Good Shepherd, and He leads us like a flock. Today we meditate on one of the most beloved Psalms, reminding ourselves that our ultimate destination is glorious eternity in the presence of our Creator, Savior, and Sustainer.Psalm 23"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. 3 He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. 5 Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."Our So What?This life is not our most extraordinary destiny; our relationship with our Shepherd begins here, and as we grow in prayer, our lives will have more meaning on earth as they will in heaven. Glory to God. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen1 Timothy 1:17Brethren, let's pray for one another.

Psalm 51 presents a profound portrait of genuine repentance, rooted in a deep awareness of sin against a holy God, exemplified by David's heartfelt contrition after his fall with Bathsheba. The psalm reveals the essential elements of true repentance: a broken and contrite heart, a personal acknowledgment of guilt before God, a faith-filled appreciation of divine mercy grounded in God's character and redemptive provision, and a resulting life of renewed devotion, public worship, and evangelistic purpose. It serves as both a powerful example for those seeking repentance, a source of hope for those fallen into ruin, and a sobering warning to those tempted to rebel, illustrating the lasting consequences of sin—including broken fellowship, spiritual agony, and the fear of abandonment—while affirming the boundless grace available through Christ. Ultimately, the psalm points to the gospel's transformative power, where even the deepest sin can be cleansed by God's mercy, leading to restored joy, renewed spirit, and a life dedicated to praising God.
