Your testimonies are wonderful; Therefore my soul keeps them. The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple. I opened my mouth and panted, For I longed for Your commandments.

Look upon me and be merciful to me, As Your custom is toward those who love Your name. Direct my steps by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me. Redeem me from the oppression of man, That I may keep Your precepts. Make Your face shine upon Your servant, And teach me Your statutes.

Rivers of water run down from my eyes, Because men do not keep Your law.

Can't you hear the passion, even over the 2400 +/- years since this Psalm was written, the passion that flows for the scribe's pen. I hear him, I see him, passionately on his face before YAHWAH, declaring his love and obedience to the LORD. His only concern is that nothing interfere with his relationship with YAHWAH, except his sorrow that compatriots do not share the sense of obedience to the Word of the LORD.

Should we not be equally concerned, compelled to use the 8 verses as a pattern for our own lives concerning our families and friends.

Reading

Morning Psalm 25, Noon Psalm 119:9-16, Evening Psalm 114

Alternate Reading Plan based on 7 chapters/day from 7 sections of the Scriptures.

Genesis 14, Judges 14, Job 14, Psalm 14, Isaiah 14, Matthew 14, Romans 14

My groupings are: Genesis-Joshua, Judges to Esther, Job to Song of Solomon, Psalms breaking 119 into convenient sets, Isaiah to Malachi, Matthew to Acts, Romans to Revelation. Set your own up in convenient groupings as fits your study habits.

I suggest either setting aside a period of the day to read all, or break the readings up into morning, mid-day, and evening series. Both approaches have their advantages, and both will build an awareness of the Bible as a whole over time.
