Summer Study – Day 10
June 14, 2024 Read Psalms 17 and 18 God is bigger than we can even begin to understand. No matter how hard we try, we cannot imagine just how powerful, how awesome, and how great God is. However, we should still try. I love all the different ways that God is described in the Bible. …

Summer Study – Day 9
June 13, 2024 Read Psalm 16 The other day, I came home from a challenging day at school and decided to go upstairs and quilt instead of taking my daily walk with the dogs. My routine would be to come in the house, leash up the dogs, and go for a 30-minute walk. The walk…

Summer Study – Day 8
June 12, 2024 Read Psalm 13 I have found in my life that when I have someone to talk to about my problems, it takes some of the burden from my shoulders. This last December, I noticed a freckle on my arm. I do not know why I noticed it; I just kept on “seeing”…

Summer Study – Day 7
Psalm 10 Today I asked you to read Psalm 10 before my comments. Most scholars believe Psalms 9 & 10 go together, so you can go back and read Psalm 9 to get a better picture. Psalm 9 is a psalm of praise while Psalm 10 goes back to being a lament. The author does not…

Summer of Psalms – Day 4
Thursday, June 6, 2024 Psalm 5 is a Psalm of David. You can almost envision David composing and then singing this short Psalm as he took care of sheep. Is there a worship song or a hymn that keeps coming back to your mind over and over? I find that after being in church some…

Summer of Psalms – Day 3
Summer of Psalms – Day 3 Read Psalm 3 Many of the Psalms are written by David in response to events in his life. Today’s Psalm is in response to Absalom’s rebellion. You can find this story in 2 Samuel 15. If you read this story, you can see that Absalom was working to undermine…

Summer of Psalms – Day 2
Read Psalm 1 When my kids still lived at home, one of the things I often said to them was, “Garbage in, garbage out.” I am sure they hated it as much as I hated it when my mother always told me, “a place for everything and everything in its place.” I hope that someday…
