Of David. Blessed be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.

“Blessed be the LORD, my rock.” There is a small, fist sized, granite rock that has lain on our porch railing for several years. An undistinguished gray, worn smooth by years of tumbling in a Vermont stream somewhere, but a very precious rock; a gift from a sister in the LORD.

Why! Because a dear sister, Mary, had selected that rock for a special service. She painted a short, but immensely powerful message on it. “Jesus is my rock” and carefully placed it our railing as a declaration to all that they were about to enter a home that strives to honor the LORD, God, the Almighty.

We haven’t seen Mary for several years, but the rock still sits where she placed it, Both as an announcement to all who enter our home, but equally to us as we leave. We go on the Name of the LORD.

Reading

Morning Psalm 71, Noon Psalm 119:65-72, Evening Psalm 5. If you follow this regimen, you will pray through the Psalms every 47 days or just under 8 times per year.

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.
