Day 215 – Ps 120-122; 2 Thess 2Day 215 – Ps 120-122; 2 Thess 2
Ps. 120-122 “Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.” (Ps 120:2). Was the Psalmist referring to the lips and tongues of others or his own, I wonder? Perhaps both. It sounds ...
Day 211 – Ps 113-115; 1 Thess 3Day 211 – Ps 113-115; 1 Thess 3
Ps. 113-115 These three Psalms are most definitely praise Psalms, exalting God above all else. I like the contrast in Psalm 113. Right after making a point of how high God is, the Psalmist notes ...

Day 200 – 2 Kings 22-23; Gal 6Day 200 – 2 Kings 22-23; Gal 6
2 Kings 22-23 When Josiah was presented with the previously “lost” and ignored Book of the Law, he threw himself into it wholeheartedly. As he did, he did not need anybody to tell him that ...
Day 199 – 2 Kings 19-21; Gal 5Day 199 – 2 Kings 19-21; Gal 5
2 Kings 19-21 I see a repeated pattern among the righteous kings of Judah in the humility with which they approach the LORD. They do not approach God with pomp and pride, demanding action on ...
Day 190 – 2 Kings 7-9; James 3Day 190 – 2 Kings 7-9; James 3
2 Kings 7-9 It is interesting to me how Israel could not keep a royal family. The ‘house of Ahab’ was the third that God cursed to utter destruction. Not one member of any of ...
