Last week, we looked through the Psalms, the largest collection of
poetry in the Bible. This week and next week we are going to look at
some portions of the wisdom books in the Bible: Proverbs, Ecclesiastes,
and Job.

For an overview of these books, we turn again to our friends at the Bible
Project:

Spend some time just sitting with the Father this morning.

Listen to this hymn and be peaceful before the Lord:

Search Me, O God:

• Read Psalm 139

Take some time to ponder the following questions today:

• How does God’s intimate knowledge of all your thoughts, your deeds, your comings and goings, make you feel?

• Are there parts of your physical body that you wonder why God knit them together the way that He did? Can you talk to Him about that?

Pray through these words from Psalm 139:

Search me, 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.

• Read Psalm 65

Set aside some time today and reflect on the following questions:

• How have you seen the Lord fill you with good things?

• Read this Psalm aloud, slowly and ponderously. What pops out to you that you can praise God for?

• Read Psalm 29

Take some time to reflect on the following questions today:

• What do we learn about God from these verses?

• What is our responsibility as described here?

• How have you seen the Lord bless you with strength and peace?

• Read Psalm 8

Reflect on these questions as you go about your day today:

• Why do you think God is mindful of mankind?

• How do you think it works that the praise of children creates a stronghold against the enemy?

Close your eyes and listen to this song.

• Psalm 8:

• Read Psalm 104

Reflect on the following questions today:

• Of all the marvelous works listed here, which impact your daily life?

• What is the most amazing to you as you read?

• What do you learn about God from these verses?
