Friday, October 7 — Psalm 117
1 Samuel 28,29; John 6:16–24
After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up, who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel. Judges 2:10 (NIV)
Simeon prayed: “My eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.” Luke 2:30–32
Peel the scales from our eyes, remove the blockages from our ears and hearts, O Lord, so that we may receive you. Let not this day pass without us drawing nigh unto you, our Savior, Redeemer, and Sustainer. Amen.
