Bible Reading Challenge Week 29 Day 2

Our reading challenge for the day is Psalms 26-30. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?

Psalm 26 - We would probably all like to sing this Psalm. We’d like to be the people who walk before God in our integrity without slipping or falling. But when we consider ourselves carefully we find we have failed. Who is the one this Psalm discusses? Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God, who gives his innocence to all who believe.

Psalm 27 - When we see our enemies we look to the LORD for sanctuary. God is gracious to call us to him. No matter who turns against us, by faith in Christ, we know our God will always be for us.

Psalm 28 - All who cry out to God for mercy receive his love and care. He is our strength. Those who disregard God are considered workers of evil. They disregard God who will disregard them.

Psalm 29 - God is the great and glorious one who should receive all praise. Even as we confess his wonders we ask for his mercy and grace.

Psalm 30 - Our Lord is the one who restores his people. When we are downcast to the pit then our God raises us up.
