Devos 365

Psalm 65 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song. 1 Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall vows be performed. 2 O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come. 3 When iniquities prevail against me, you atone for our transgressions. 4 Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple! 5 By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas; 6 the one who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with might; 7 who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples, 8 so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs. You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy. 9 You visit the earth and water it; you greatly enrich it; the river of God is ful...

Luke 19:41-48 41  And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, 42  saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43  For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side 44  and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” 45  And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, 46  saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers .” 47  And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him, 48  but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words. ...

Luke 19:28-40 28  And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29  When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, 30  saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. 31  If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” 32  So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them. 33  And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34  And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” 35  And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36  And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road. 37  As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disc...

Luke 19:11-28 11  As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately. 12  He said therefore, “A nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return. 13  Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I come.’ 14  But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’ 15  When he returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by doing business. 16  The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten minas more.’ 17  And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’ 18  And the second cam...
