The Book of Psalms

Hi, it’s been a bit since I’ve basked in the warmth of Sunshine. I’m not talking about the yellow orb in the sky but the warmth of our Lord’s word, comfort, and love held within the pages of his Bible being shared within this blog.

As we all can attest, life gets busy, we scurry and hurry and then wake up one morning sick or at the very least drained. When I run out of gas and I recently have, I head to the word of God. His word refreshes, rebuilds, revives, and renews!

One of my go-to books in the Bible is the book of Psalms. Within these verses are eloquent words of prose and praise. But, we also find true words of emotions spoken by real people engaged in real situations.

King David wrote about 80 of these psalms while he was on the run, with a bounty on his head.

I take much comfort from the passages of Psalms, I am starting a quest to read in the Psalms each morning after my daily Bible reading and devotions and I’m hoping to share some of the beautiful passages with you. ❤️🌹

Psalms 1:1-6 NLT “Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.

But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither and they prosper in all they do.

But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly.

For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.”

We place our hope, faith, and belief in the word of our Lord Jesus Christ. We, who follow his teachings and guidance are being compared to trees planted by the riverbank, each bearing fruit in their season.

We are in just as much need of daily watering from the well of living water; as our flora and fauna require from nature.

John 4:14 ESV “But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

Join me as we take a journey through the Book of Psalms. 😎🏝
