每日金句：
Psalm 65:4 你所拣选，使他亲近你，住在你院中的，这人便为有福。我们必因你居所，你圣殿的美福知足了。
每日灵修：
诗篇65篇开头说一切赞美都归于你！我们有责任把神当得的赞美献给他。我们赞美神因为当我们犯罪得罪神，神不仅仅用他的宝血来遮盖我们的肮脏污秽，他还拣选我们，使我们可以在他的院中亲近他。我们知道完全圣洁的神是不允许他的居所有任何的污秽的，但他爱我们如此之深，以至于他愿意洁净我们这些罪人，是我们可以到他的面前来与他亲近。所以我们当赞美我们的神！
诗篇66篇中有一些关于神的真理，是值得我们去思考的。
1. 上帝的作为奇妙可畏
2. 神的大能使仇敌投降
3. 上帝用权能治理万民直到永远
4. 他的眼睛鉴察列邦
5. 他必不叫我们的脚摇动
6. 我们经过水火，他会带我们到丰富之地
7. 上帝侧耳听我们祷告的声音
8. 他不会使他的慈爱离开我们
对于美国现在所正在发生的事情，我们的情绪都非常的复杂。但是神告诉我们他的眼睛鉴察列邦。他是全能的神，仇敌在他面前是站立不住的。在这个特殊的时期，神的子民要迫切的祷告。如果我们真的相信上帝在掌权，真的相信他侧耳听我们的祷告，那我们每天祷告一个小时都不算多。耶稣告诉我们要为我们的仇敌祷告。如果不委身于迫切的祷告，我们就不要期待会有实质的变化。“神实在听见了，他侧耳听…他并没有推却我的祷告”（诗篇66：29）。
祷告：
亲爱的天父，我感谢你，你竟愿意拣选我这个肮脏污秽的罪人住在你的院中来亲近你！感谢耶稣的救恩，让我这个本要灭亡的罪人有了盼望。因你的慈爱，我才得以成为圣洁，永永远远住在你的殿中！你圣殿的美福真的让我得以饱足。我感谢你，因为你侧耳听我的祷告。我相信你在掌权，从亘古直到永远，你都坐在宝座上鉴察列邦。求你赐给我一颗迫切寻求你的心，除去我一切的骄傲！奉耶稣基督的名求，阿们！

Daily Verse:
Psalm 65:4 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!
Daily Devotion:
Psalm 65 – Praise is due to God. It is our responsibility, and duty to give God the praise that He owes. We praise God because when we sin and get covered in nasty wickedness, God chooses to bring us near to him to live in his house. We know that God’s house cannot have any dirt, grim, or filth in it. But he loves us so much that he cleans us, then brings us in. Therefore, praise is due to him.
Psalm 66 states some truths about God that we might have forgotten and need reminders of.
· God’s deeds are awesome
· God is so powerful that his enemies cringing to him
· God rules with his might forever
· God’s eyes watch over the nations
· He will not let our feet slip.
· We went through fire and through water, yet God brings us to a place of abundance
· God is attending to the voice of our prayers
· God has not nor will he remove our steadfast love from us.
Many people have mixed feelings about what is happening in the US right now. But God tells us that His Eyes watch over the nations. God is powerful, mighty, and his enemies will not stand. In these times, God’s people should be devoting themselves to prayer. If we truly believe that God is in control and that he listens to our prayers, then an hour of prayer at the minimum should be only logical. Nothing with eternal value will ever happen apart from prayer. Jesus tells us to pray for our enemies. We cannot and will not have serious change without Serious prayer. God listens, God hears, God attends, … Because God has not rejected our prayers.
God, I am so thankful that you saw me in my filth and ignorant rebellion against you and choose to bring me near to yourself. Thank you Jesus because without you I would be ruined. By your goodness oh Lord you washed me clean and bring me into your house to live forever! Truly I am satisfied with the goodness of your house. God, I am so thankful that you hear my prayers. I know that you are in control of everything. You have always been on the throne, and truly you have your eyes on the nations. Please help me to become a man that devotes hours of my day to prayer and forgive me for thinking I have any control, to begin with. In Jesus’s name, I pray. Amen!
