I will go into Your house with burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows, Which my lips have uttered And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble. I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals, With the sweet aroma of rams; I will offer bulls with goats. Selah
How many times have I been trapped by my own mouth? “I will pay You my vows, Which my lips have uttered And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.” So easy to promise anything to the LORD if He will only get me out of trouble one more time. Take a look at Judges 11:30-40 to see what one vow cost Jephthah. Did Jehovah desire the life of his daughter. No! But the LORD still wants our love and loyalty.
Reading
Morning Psalm 138, Noon Psalm 119:145-152, Evening Psalm 34
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.
