Day 125: Psalm 1-2, 15, 22-24, 47, 68

I think that what we are doing by being in the word everyday this year (and hopefully years to come) is Psalm 1:3. "Planting our tree by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.  Whatever he does prospers."

I love when God shows emotions like in 2:4.  "The One enthroned in heaven laughs."

In Psalm 15, did people think they could do all these things like be blameless, speak only truth, keeps all oaths, etc.?  For me, they just illustrate what is required to be with God.  Obviously I can't be blameless, so this Psalm points me to my need for Christ to cover my shortcomings.

Psalm 22 reminds me of Job.

Not sure if I connected Psalm 23 with David having been a shepherd before.  "Shepherd" was just not another term to David.  He totally understood the concept of dependence and protection more than most people using that term.

Awesome is a word which is so common place in our world.  As I see it used in many of the Psalms, it makes me look at it in a new light.  Someone who is worthy of my awe.  We use it for our kids, a good movie, and even a pizza!  Maybe that is part of our problem in sharing our God with people.  Words just don't suffice anymore.  hmmmmm......
