To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

One of these days, I’m going to flip through the Psalms just to see how many times David calls for curses to be poured out upon an enemy's head. He is efficient and through, no tiptoeing through the tulips rather a through threshing with verbal cacti. So much more effective when the LORD, God, the Almighty takes up the defense of His own.

But the question that should be addressed is whether or not is this is the proper approach for me as one called to be an Ambassador of Reconciliation in the Kingdom of Heaven? (2 Cor. 5:18-19) How about some feedback?

An alternate Reading Plan is 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.

Or set your own reading schedule up in convenient groupings as fits your study habits. But a daily time in the Word of the LORD is an absolute.
