The reading for Monday, June 26, 2023 , is Psalms 102 - 104

Psalms 102 - 104   The works of God are Wonderous! Here is says that Egypt is the land of Ham referring to Noah's sons. Ham was the son that Noah cursed. 

The reading for Sunday, June 25, 2023 , is Psalms 97 - 101

Psalm 97-101   I'm a day behind again! How great God is--Praise Him!!

The reading for Saturday, June 24, 2023 , is Psalms 94 – 96

Psalms 94 – 96   Vengence is mine thus says the Lord!! Praise the Lord!! The Lord will judge rightly!!

The reading for Friday, June 23, 2023 , is Psalms 91 - 93

Psalms 91 - 93   Psalm 91 now always reminds me of when I broke my ankle. The preacher came to the hospital to see me and choose to read Psalm 91. When she read the part about dashing your foot against a stone, she said it wasn't for broken legs, etc. She wrote a note in the back of her Bible not to read it for broken ankles, legs, etc. The memory still brings a smile to my face.  I find today's Psalms comforting. 

The reading for Thursday, June 22, 2023 , is Psalms 88 – 90

Psalm 88-90   Psalm 88 reminds me of Job and his companions. 

The reading for Wednesday, June 21, 2023 , is Psalms 85 – 87

Psalms 85 – 87   Psalms of Praise!! Revive Us Again!!

The reading for Tuesday, June 20, 2023 , is Psalms 82 – 84

Psalm 82-84   Today, I find these Psalms both more understandable and more puzzling as we have read the history in the books that come before. 

The reading for Monday, June 19, 2023 , is Psalms 79 – 81

Psalms 79 – 81   Today, these Psalms remind me that God is BIG, VERY BIG and I am very, very small.  God's ways are not human ways. We cannot understand fully. 

The reading for Sunday, June 18, 2023 , is Psalms 74 – 78

Psalms 74 – 78   In some ways, Psalm 78 reminds me of Stephen's sermon because it speaks of the history of the Israelites as does Stephen's sermon. Still, in Psalm 78, there is less history to speak of and the history isn't necessarily in the order in which we have read it as we read the Bible though. Still the history is there along with God's justice and mercy. 

The reading for Saturday, June 17, 2023 , is Psalms 71 – 73

 I'm behind again.  Psalms 71 – 73 This is new to to me:  Cast Me Not Away  Nor did I listen to the whole 16 minutes! Now we move to Book 3 of the Psalms. Asaph's involvement in the psalms attributed to him is unclear. 

The reading for Friday, June 16, 2023 , is Psalms 68 – 70

Psalms 68 – 70   As David cries out to the Lord, so can we.  But, do I praise the Lord as David did? I think not.

Psalms 56 – 58   The Psalms are beautiful! 

The reading for Sunday, June 11, 2023 , is Psalms 51 – 55

Psalms 51 – 55   The songs below came to mind as I read today's scripture. I enjoy some different versions, but am very partial to the music of my upbringing.  Create in me a Clean Heart (Keith Green) Create in me a Clean Heart (hymn) For God so Loved Us For God So Loved Us (German 1 verse) Ere You Left Your Room this Morning Did You Think to Pray? On Wings of a Dove

The reading for Saturday, June 3, 2023 , is Psalms 25 - 27

  Psalms 25 - 27 Turn to the Lord when weary or in trouble.  David is upright. David will bless the Lord.  The Lord is Light and Salvation. 

The reading for Friday, June 2, 2023 , is Psalms 22 - 24

Psalms 22 - 24   Psalm 22: My God, my God why have you forsaken me? Some people believe Jesus was quoting this Psalm when he cried out these words from the cross. Also, in verse 18, speaks of casting lots and dividing His clothing.  I also see this as a Psalm of David who is speaking about himself. I so appreciate David's candor about his feelings.  Psalm 23: Perhaps the best known of the Psalms.  Psalm 24: The Lord is the King of glory

The reading for Thursday, June 1, 2023 , is Psalms 19 - 21

Psalms 19 - 21   The Lord is all Good.  Trust in the Lord.  The Lord blessed David when David asked.
