They also who dwell in the farthest parts are afraid of Your signs; You make the outgoings of the morning and evening rejoice. You visit the earth and water it, You greatly enrich it; The river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, For so You have prepared it. You water its ridges abundantly, You settle its furrows; You make it soft with showers, You bless its growth. You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing.

What a beautiful passage, celebrating the munificence of the LORD, God, the Almighty as He provides for the needs of His people. Obviously an agrarian society, totally dependent upon the produce of the land.

Not so anymore. We are a manufacturing society; we produce automobiles by the thousands per hour. Computers? Countless! HA!

Maybe we are described in that first phrase? Are we afraid of the signs of the LORD? Have we lost sight of our dependency on the food chain? There has been drought in the wheat growing regions of the mid-West; will we experience increasing bread prices next winter?

Reading

Morning Psalm 134, Noon Psalm 119:113-120, Evening Psalm 30

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.
