Day 148: Meet Me in the Middle (Psalm 117)
Psalm 117 is the middle chapter of the Protestant Bible—and the shortest. Right in the middle of judgment and mercy, prophecy and gospel, wisdom and apocalypse, stands a tiny psalm reminding the world of God’s steadfast love for all peoples. Two verses. A tiny psalm. A massive invitation.

Day 141: Gentleness that Makes Me Great (2 Samuel 22:36)
Buried in the middle of all the military imagery of 2 Samuel 22 is a surprising turn: God’s gentleness made David great. God does not shape us through cruelty or intimidation, but through steadfast love, mercy, and kindness.
