Covid-19 Quarantine Devotional – April 2 Psalm 3

April 2, 2020 – God’s Salvation and Rest

Continuing our reading plan from NEBC-San Antonio, today we look at Psalm 3.

Morning Prayer of Trust in God.

A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

1 O Lord, how my adversaries have increased!

Many are rising up against me.

2 Many are saying of my soul,

“There is no deliverance for him in God.” Selah.

3 But You, O Lord, are a shield about me,

My glory, and the One who lifts my head.

4 I was crying to the Lord with my voice,

And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.

5 I lay down and slept;

I awoke, for the Lord sustains me.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people

Who have set themselves against me round about.

7 Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God!

For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek;

You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.

8 Salvation belongs to the Lord;

Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah. (NASB)

Covid-19 Quarantine Devotional – April 1 Philippians 1:7-11

April 1, 2020,

We switch back to Philippians 1 today to look at verses 7-11, which discusses the care and community of the Philippian believers.

7 For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me. 8 For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. 9 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; 11 having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Covid-19 Quarantine Devotional – March 31 Psalm 1

March 31, 2020

Following the reading plan found here at Northeast Bible Church (San Antonio), today we look at the classic psalm in Psalm 1. This psalm discusses the benefits of being rooted in Scripture, especially during trials and tribulations.

1 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,

Nor stand in the path of sinners,

Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,

And in His law he meditates day and night.

3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,

Which yields its fruit in its season

And its leaf does not wither;

And in whatever he does, he prospers.

4 The wicked are not so,

But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,

But the way of the wicked will perish.

(NASB)

Covid-19 Quarantine Devotional – Philippians 1:3-6

March 30, 2020

My local church published an article to help its congregants be reminded of who our God is and how strong and mighty He is. As the world shifts around us and the chaos ensues, we need something we can always hold on to. We need something that will not be shaken. Something that will not be blown by the shifting times. We need something stable, something sure, something certain, something that will never ever change. So, we turn to our unshakeable God.

During this time, we are reminded of how we need to hold on to God, who is our refuge, fortress, and stronghold. He is the only thing that will not be shaken during this time.

So, my church put together a reading plan and devotional plan for this time (since websites change over time, you can find a downloadable copy below). In an effort to stay with that, I will use this resource as a way to track our devotionals over the next 30 days. Since today is day one, we will look at Philippians 1:3-6. The text reads:

3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, 5 in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now. 6 For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. (NASB)
