Daily Devotions for Saturday 14th December, 2024

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit

Reading : ZECHARIAH 9 verses 9-17
Meditation : take the time to consider these words and truths this Saturday morning.
The future King

Which words stay with you as your day starts?
What is God teaching you today?

And then take time to Pray with Praise in response to this God

Praise the LORD!
It is good to sing praise to our God;
it is pleasant and right to praise him.
The LORD is restoring Jerusalem;
he is bringing back the exiles.
He heals the broken-hearted
and bandages their wounds.
He has decided the number of the stars
and calls each one by name.
Great and mighty is our Lord;
his wisdom cannot be measured.
He raises the humble,
but crushes the wicked to the ground.

Amen we pray with praise together this new day!

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your own midday prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen


Evening

Reading : read the verses again from ZECHARIAH 9 verses 9-17
Reflect on the words…. and then Pray in response to what you have read
This is our God! The God who gives hope!

Sing hymns of praise to the LORD;
play music on the harp to our God.
He spreads clouds over the sky;
he provides rain for the earth
and makes grass grow on the hills.
He gives animals their food
and feeds the young ravens when they call.
His pleasure is not in strong horses,
nor his delight in brave soldiers;
but he takes pleasure in those who honour him,
in those who trust in his constant love

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
