People ask me why I chose to put a website together on the book of Psalms? I find myself needing to fall in love head over heels with my Jesus each and every day. It is for that reason that I am often drawn to Psalms. This poetic book seems a good place to start to remember how He feels about me and how I need to feel about Him.
Personally, I find that a daily dose of Psalms keeps my life exciting and adventuresome. This volume ministers to my heart every time I read its pages. I find great variety in this Old Testament book that I read and study each week.
I thought of the verse from Psalms this morning, “. . . my soul is even as a weaned child.” (Psalm 131:2). I think about it often. Such a powerful word picture. I am not even sure I can articulate why it’s so packed with meaning for me. However, the book of Psalms is filled with such mind filling phrases on which to meditate.
I often keep index cards in my Bible to try to make notes for myself on what I learn about God and myself as I go through. I then place those cards at strategic locations that I will "trip" across (brief case, bathroom mirror, etc). I’ll go through them and be “wow-ed” again and again. The word of God is more powerful than another book and the book of Psalms has a way of constantly bringing me back again to who God is and what God has done for me.
Let me know if you are jumping on board. Here are some reading plans I recommend:
