To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song For Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah
I see this as a physical depiction of the turmoil that the “civilized” world is going through. Pandemic! Critical Race Theory! LBGTQ! Conservative vs Liberal! And the list goes on! I have not touched the turmoil throughout the 10-40 Window, the intra-religious battles. Islam vs Hindu, Christian vs Buddhism, etc.
But what shall we fear? The LORD, God, the Almighty is on our side. We will triumph.
Reading
Morning Psalm 40, Noon Psalm 119:129-136, Evening Psalm 129
Alternate Reading Plan based on 7 chapters/day from 7 sections of the Scriptures. 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.
