Day 30 - Psalm 25 - Thru the Bible 2019

Bible Readings:  Exodus 10:1-12:13;  Matthew 20:1-28: Psalm 25:1-15; Proverbs 6:6-11

To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul.—Ps 25:1

Cross-Reference Verses: 

My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.-Ps 5:3

Evening and morning and at noon
I will pray, and cry aloud,
And He shall hear my voice.—Ps 55:17

I rise before the dawning of the morning,
And cry for help;
I hope in Your word.—Ps 119:147

I said to the LORD: "You are my God;
Hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.—Ps 140:6

Lord...I will cry out to You in the morning...hear my cry.  Father, I don’t do this enough!   Oh remind me as I wake that You are my morning song...You are my sufficiency.  Anything I have that is good is of You.  I don’t want to do anything Lord unless You go with me and before me! 

Day 29 - Psalm 24 - Thru the Bible 2019

Bible Readings: Exodus 8:1-9:35; Matthew 19:13-30; Psalm 24:1-10; Proverbs 6:1-5

Whenever I read thru Ps 22-24, I think of what I read about them several years back and truly I stand in awe. 

“Psalm 22 deals with the Cross and Psalm 23 with the crook. Here, Psalm 24 will deal with the crown. Psalm 22 deals with Jesus’ death and Psalm 23 with His life. Here, Psalm 24 will deal with His return for us. In Psalm 22, we see the Good Shepherd who laid down His life (John 10: 11) and in Psalm 23, the Great Shepherd who guides us in this present life (Hebrews 13: 20). Here in Psalm 24, we’ll see the Chief Shepherd who is coming back for us (1 Peter 5: 4).”—Jon Courson

Such beautiful pictures of our Lord!
