Almost Through the Psalms
In a few days I’ll be finished reading the Psalms in my journey to read through the Bible this year. I’m really LOVING the Psalms – they are like familiar friends when I read the oft quoted words of the psalmist. What I’m finding difficult however is having to read so many of them on a single day. Psalms and Psalms alone doesn’t really feel like a ‘balanced’ reading of scripture. The Psalms are like gems to be treasured – heartfelt cries from a believer to his loving God.
However, this year I’m establishing my chronological understanding of the events of the Bible. Next year I’m definitely going to read through a One Year arrangement of the Bible that combines narrative (OT and NT) with a tiny bit of Psalms and Proverbs for each day – that way I can keep moving through the ‘story’ of the Bible while lingering over the reflective passages instead of bulking them all up together

one of my favoritie psalms is the 27th. It strikes me because of the fact that it has David saying something amazing. He says in verse four that basically out of all the things he has asked the Lord there is only one thing that he would seek… and that is to dwell in the house of the Lord, behold his beauty, and mediate in his temple! Amazing huh all he wanted to do was bask in the presense of Glory
