Have you ever tried that? Reading ten Psalms a day? We tend to read one a day perhaps, and if you are like me, even if you spend some time in the Psalm for the day, you probably still just take one key thought with you throughout the day.
But reading ten Psalms a day, albeit perhaps a little quicker kind of reading, allows for a very broad insight into life, as it gives you ten key thoughts to mesh together for your meditations throughout the day.
Take the first ten Psalms, for example. Let’s write the key thought of each Psalm, and then mesh them all together. Read briefly each Psalm, look at my suggested summary phrase, and then join them together, and do Ps 11-20 tomorrow, and so on!
Psalm 1—It is good to be righteous and bad to be bad
Psalm 2—The world can hate all they like, God wins through His Son
Psalm 3—Many hate me, but God is good to me
Psalm 4—God hears when I call
Psalm 5—God will judge sinners and I will continue to worship Him
Psalm 6—”God please help me survive this world!”
Psalm 7—I repent because God judges all the wicked, and my sins too
Psalm 8—Mankind is exalted, but God is greater
Psalm 9—Everyone should know that God is King
Psalm 10—It feels at times that the wicked succeed and God does nothing, but He sees everything and will act
Thought for today: Life is a mess with my sins playing a part too, but I will continue in what is right, I will worship the One above all others, and I will keep an End-Time perspective.
