To the Chief Musician. Set to "Do Not Destroy." a Michtam of David When He Fled from Saul into the Cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, Until these calamities have passed by. I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me. He shall send from heaven and save me; He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
David recognizes that, “Until these calamities have passed by. I will cry out to God Most High” i.e., he has no other recourse. This, in itself, is a major accomplishment in his relationship with the LORD, and so must I come to that point in my relationship with Him.
I must, absolutely must, come to the point where I cease to struggle with my weaknesses and willingness to settle for less than perfection, and turn to You, the Holy One of Israel . I must relinquish all control, all solution, to You. Completely to You.
Reading
Morning Psalm 108, Noon Psalm 119:105-112, Evening Psalm 7,
Alternate Reading Plan based on 7 chapters/day from 7 sections of the Scriptures. My groupings are: Genesis-Joshua, Judges to Esther, Job to Song of Solomon, Psalms breaking 119 into convenient sets, Isaiah to Malachi, Matthew to Acts, Romans to Revelation.
Set your own up in convenient groupings as fits your study habits.
I suggest either setting aside a period of the day to read all, or break the readings up into morning, mid-day, and evening series. Both approaches have their advantages, and both will build an awareness of the Bible as a whole over time
