Pause

Something different today. Read through this Psalm and carry it with you all day long. Mediate upon it, and reflect on how it applies in your life today.

O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.

Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint;
O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.

My soul is in anguish.
How long, O LORD, how long?

Turn, O LORD, and deliver me;
save me because of your unfailing love.

No one remembers you when he is dead.
Who praises you from the grave?

I am worn out from groaning;
all night long I flood my bed with weeping
and drench my couch with tears.

My eyes grow weak with sorrow;
they fail because of all my foes.

Away from me, all you who do evil,
for the LORD has heard my weeping.

The LORD has heard my cry for mercy;
the LORD accepts my prayer.

All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed;
they will turn back in sudden disgrace.

Psalm 6 (NIV)

Pause

Instead of reading a new passage today, take today to spend some time with God in prayer. Maybe look over some of the Scripture that we read over the past 2 weeks. Meditate on the words that God has given you so far in this journey. And prepare your heart for reading a new book tomorrow.
