I had the urge to sit outside and indulge my soul by reading in Psalms this morning. I couldn’t help but remember that at times when I was growing up, I would wake up to find my Dad sipping on hot coffee and reading his Bible in the kitchen. As I’ve gotten older I find myself wanting to this very same thing more and more.
I LOVE to wake up early in the morning and refresh my mind with God’s truth while sipping on hot coffee. The weather was just perfect outside this morning. There was a cool breeze gently blowing through our backyard and birds chirping off in the distance. God’s creation is such a magnificent wonder! I love being outside in nature especially with beautiful weather!
Call me silly if you want but I relish in opening up the Bible in random places to see what God will reveal to me. Today I said a prayer asking God to speak to me before I began reading. The last couple of weeks I have been reading through Psalms and what I opened up to was actually the next chapter by happenstance. Coincidence…? I think not!
Today’s verses that captured my attention were Psalms 19:7-14. Enjoy and have a fabulous Saturday!
The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.
They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.
Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins;
Let them not rule over me; Then I will be blameless,
And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord , my rock and my Redeemer.
Psalms 19:7-14

Great reading!
My Father use to do the same thing, except his choice of drink was hot tea with a little milk. There was not one day I didn’t see him studying the word of God. I also like just opening my bible and letting God speak to me, I find such joy in it. Right now God has me going through psalms, proverbs and job. I am looking forward to what he is going to show me.
That is awesome that your father studied the Word everyday! I’m studying Psalms and Proverbs also! Very cool!
