Below is a short summary or synopsis of the Bible reading for the day. Use it as a helpful tool to think through the Scripture. There are also some cross references to study other passages of Scripture to highlight or better understand that passage.

The anchor of this wisdom psalm attributed to Moses, is verse 14, “Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.” The beginning speaks to the eternal refuge which the faithful have in the Lord, rooted in the self-existence of God. Throughout these seventeen verses, the sovereign power and infinite majesty of our Author and Creator is acknowledged and praised as it is compared to the minuteness and limited existence of humanity. The voice of this hymn appears to lament and repent over the trouble and sin of mankind, yet simultaneously praises the Lord for such life; for it is in darkness and disparity of man that the righteousness and power of God reaches down and removes his people. Although we grieve such a perfect God, he is unchanging and always true in his love and providence.

(Lamentations 3:22-23; Psalm 33; Malachi 3:6; John 1:5; Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:4-5; James 1:17)
