Psalm 34:1-8 "Taste and See the LORD is Good" (Friday 9/11/26) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Psalm 34 invites us to praise the LORD in every circumstance and to seek him in the midst of our fears. David reminds us that God hears, delivers, and draws near to those who look to him. “Taste and see that the LORD is good” is an invitation not merely to know about God, but to experience his goodness for ourselves.
Isaiah 55:1-7 "Come, Seek, and Live" (Thursday 9/10/26) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Isaiah 55:1–7 is God’s gracious invitation to everyone who is thirsty: come and receive what only he can give, freely and abundantly. Yet the invitation also calls us to turn from empty pursuits, seek the Lord while he may be found, and return to him in repentance. The promise is extraordinary—when we return to the Lord, we find not reluctant acceptance, but abundant mercy and pardon.
Genesis 28:10-17 "The Gateway to Heaven" (Wednesday 9/9/26) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jacob’s dream at Bethel reveals a God who graciously comes near, opening heaven and promising his presence even in the midst of Jacob’s uncertainty. The vision of angels ascending and descending points forward to Jesus, who tells Nathanael that he is the true meeting place between heaven and earth . Genesis 28 reminds us that we do not have to climb our way to God— in Jesus, God has come down to us.
John 1:35-51 "Come and See" (Tuesday 9/8/26) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
John 1:35–51 tells the story of Jesus’ first disciples and the simple invitation that draws them to him: “Come and see.” As Andrew, Peter, Philip, and Nathanael encounter Jesus, they begin to discover who he truly is—the Lamb of God, the Messiah, the Son of God, and the King of Israel. The passage reaches its climax when Jesus draws on Jacob’s vision at Bethel, revealing that he is the true meeting place between heaven and earth—the one in whom we encounter the presence of God.
Psalm 87 "You are born of Zion!" (Monday 9/7/26) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Psalm 87 celebrates the astonishing grace of God: the God who chose Zion intends to gather the nations into his people. Even Israel's former enemies are pictured as native-born citizens whose names God himself records. The psalm points us toward the gospel's great promise—the outsider can become family, and those who belong to God have found their true home.
