Psalm 19 - 27

Take a moment today and read Psalms 19-27 and then reflect on what you read. Write down your thoughts and share them with others.

You take a picture of a sunset, the mountains and post them with captions of awe and wonder.  You may study the human body and learn what an intricate and complicated body we have. You may see a bird feeding its babies and wonder how did it know how to do that?  Those are just some of the many wonders of God that are all around us every day. In Romans 1:19-20, Paul makes the statement of how can anyone deny the existence of God when the evidence is all around us.  Paul was using inspiration and referencing Psalm 19. 

Psalm 19 is a great Psalm to read to begin or end your day. It is a Psalm where the writer just sits back and enjoys and praises God for everything around us. 

As we continue our reading we get to Psalm 22  and now David is crying out for help, " My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"  Ever been so low that you thought even God forgot about? I think we all have. David lays it all out, but despite these feelings of despair, He doesn't stop believing. He ends with a note of praise and declares his trust in God. 

Psalm 23....probably the most famous Psalm. "No filter is needed" for this Psalm.  Even if you didn't know it was a Psalm, you have probably heard it. Read this today as if it is the first time you've read it.  Then read it again and just sit back and remind yourself to trust God and let Him lead.

Finally Psalm 27 ends our reading for today. We all have fears, trials and joys everyday. But also remember to call on the Lord every day. Check in with God just like we ask our children to check in with us. Keep the relationship alive and you will see, believe, and begin to always trust that God is there for you.

Psalm 35 - 38

Begin your day by reading Psalms 35 - 38.  Pray for God to open your heart and mind and to hear and receive the words you are going to read. Take the next couple of days to catch up, read, and reflect.  As I read the Psalms over the last week, two words have popped out: Delight   and   Commit . Why are those words important?  In Psalm 37 we see an interesting Psalm that contrast someone who believes and trusts the Lord with someone who does what they want with no regard to God or anyone but themselves.  The psalm calls them the righteous and the wicked.   As we read, we can probably picture in our mind modern day examples of the same acts/people today.  How many times to we read or see stories of so many bad things happening? When you watch the news, it is usually the lead story or headline.  Then at the very end, we have the feel good story.   The story to give us hope that all is not lost in this world. This is wher...

Psalm 28 - 34

Have you ever made a decision without seeking the guidance of the Lord? Sometimes we make a rush decision and think this is the best decision for me...only to learn that we "screwed up" and need help.    Today's reading includes Psalms 28 - 34, but today I am going to focus on Psalm 34. When we look at the background of this Psalm, we see that King David himself made a foolish decision (without seeking the Lord) that seemed good at the time, but quickly found himself is a bad predicament.  Let's see how David handled a situation that all of us find ourselves in.  This Psalm comes from a period in David's life where King Saul is trying to kill him. So David takes refuge among the Philistines in Gath.  For those of you that don't know your Bible history, the Philistines were not our friends.  It would be like an American going to Russia during the Cold War to hide out for a while.   But soon, David realizes his plan was not working because the serva...

Psalm 1 - 9::Reflections

Some days I think back to my childhood. Yes, I was a child that grew up in the 80s, so right there are some happy thoughts. But I also remember a time where I did not have to worry. My parents loved me, provided for me, I had great friends, and not much else to worry about. I just trusted and believed that all was well. Then we grow up! Everything that we believed in without a doubt, we now question. We now have worries. Will I have enough money, a job, will my kids be safe, is this world safe? And yes, sometimes we even get mad at God and question Him, doubt Him, and walk away from Him. In Psalm 8, God reassures us that we are his most valuable creation. In Psalm 8:2, we are reminded of the power of the praises from our children. Remember that childlike faith we had growing up? The praise of a child is pure and powerful. Children don't have the barriers and walls that we build up that keep us at a distance from God. Rejoice when you are praising with children. Welcome them...
