Where have we been?? In class, traveling, and chasing kids. We have been away from our Bibles and this blog. I love summer....but I hate that the change of schedule has taken me away from my time with my bible. I did some major catching up yesterday....but I still have more to go. I finished Psalms yesterday. Here is some of the verses that I highlighted from Ch. 107-150. I hope to get caught up with the rest today.
Psalm 109 was one that left me wondering. In this chapter David is asking the Lord to punish his enemy. I guess I feel like his requests are not very christian. But...I guess grace and forgiveness is not a factor yet. I find reading his requests disturbing.
Here are verses that I liked....
Psalm 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
Psalm 112:5-10
Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice. Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever. He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes. He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor. The wicked man will see and be vexed, he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
Psalm 117 5-6
In my anguish I cried to the Lord, and he answered by setting me free. The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.
Psalm 119:9
How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.
Psalm 119:36-37
Turn your heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.
Psalm 119:72
The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
Psalm 121:1-2
I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 128:1
Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.
Psalm 130:1-2
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord; O Lord hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.
Psalm 133:1
How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!
Psalm 134:2
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord.
*The reason I love 134:2 is b/c I am now attending a church where there are members that lift their hands to the Lord while worshipping. It's a new experience for my family. I do not lift my hands in the air...it's not b/c I have not been inspired....it's just b/c I feel self conscious. So, I giggled when I read that verse.
*I LOVE the next 4. They will be ones on my list to memorize!
Psalm 138:8
The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me
Psalm 139:1-4
O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.
Psalm 139:23-24
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 141:3-4
Set a guard over my mouth O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. Let not my hearts be drawn to what is evil, to take part in wicked deeds with men who are evildoers; let me not eat of their delicacies.
Psalm 145:14
The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.
Psalm 141:18
The Lord is near to all who call on him
On to Proverbs......-nic
