Day 18 celebrates King David being given the Zabur, (Psalms). Although it is considered one of four holy books in Islam, few Muslims read the Psalms. While the other divine books focus more on law and how to follow God, the Zabur is honored as a collection of praises and prayers. We know that the prayers of David repeatedly point to Jesus and teach us how we can come to God as we are: messy, broken, confused. Let’s pray that the Psalms would be read by Muslims and Jesus be encountered through them. 

Father, we thank you for Your Word and the truth we find in it. We pray in agreement with  the words of David in  Psalm 27 today that Muslims would Seek your face and would accept your invitation to dwell with you in your sanctuary, gazing upon your Beauty. We pray for the words of the Psalms to be read by Muslims this Ramadan and may it lead their eyes upward to see and behold you Jesus as the Answer to their prayers. As the One who knows and hears the heart of his people. We pray this in your Name Jesus. Amen. 

Today consider meditating on Psalm 23.

If you know a Muslim, ask them with the intent to listen: May I share one of David’s most beloved psalms?
