My soul clings to the dust; Revive me according to Your word. I have declared my ways, and You answered me; Teach me Your statutes. Make me understand the way of Your precepts; So shall I meditate on Your wonderful works.
My soul melts from heaviness; Strengthen me according to Your word. Remove from me the way of lying, And grant me Your law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me. I cling to Your testimonies; O LORD, do not put me to shame! I will run the course of Your commandments, For You shall enlarge my heart.
“I have chosen the way of truth” What precious words, lead me , LORD in the way I should go. I have lost the ability, if I ever had it, of correctly choosing the Way of Life. The Way that lies through You and is totally guided by Your Word and Your Precepts.
I must be saturated by Your Word, soaked it from dawn to dark. All my waking moments, all my steps, all my decision, every aspect of my life must be under the guidance and control of the Holy Spirit.
Reading
Morning Psalm 115, Noon Psalm 119:161-168, Evening Psalm 14.
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.
