Psalms 119, Part 4

I seemed to gravitate towards Psalms 119:164 in today’s reading. I’m thinking, if I set alerts on my phone, with different verses, how would that affect my day? Time to experiment.

‘I will praise you seven times a day because all your regulations are just.’

  1. When we wake up
    ‘This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. ‘
    Psalms 118:24
  2. Before getting ready for work
    ‘”Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies! The whole earth is filled with his glory!” ‘
    Isaiah 6:3
  3. Mid-morning
    “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”
    John 1:29
  4. Midday
    ‘I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?
    Psalms 56:4
  5. Afternoon
    “Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms.”
    Psalms 68:19
  6. Evening
    “Praise God for the Son of David! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the LORD! Praise God in highest Heaven!”
    Matthew 21:9
  7. Before Bed
    Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw his unfailing love from me.
    Psalms 66:20

    I’m not a fan of traveling. I’m a homebody, and travel today is a lot easier than it was in Paul’s time. I hate being stuck in an airport for a few hours. Reading Acts 27, we learn that travel was much more dangerous and that the weather played a major role. Paul warns the…

    Yesterday, I almost wrote about Romans 1, but I felt a stronger need to write about leadership. I’m so glad I didn’t, I feel like reading Romans 1 without reading Romans 2 could be dangerous. Paul lists a bunch of sins in Romans 1:18-32. And if we stop there, it’s easy to judge others and…
