today I'm gonna put up a bunch of posts. I'm splitting them up so they're more manageable. so that's why. now you know.
the ones following this one are my reflections on Psalms. the reason: I've been wanting to do a Bible study with people for over a year now, and while everyone I've asked has been very enthusiastic, the ball never rolled for any of us. so I decided to start in on Psalms and post my reflections with the hope that they will inspire discussions in the comment section for them. It's an open bible study I invite everyone to join me in :-)
I will be using my NLT student study bible which has lots of sidenotes and background info and stuff to think about it. I might reference some of it. I invite you to read your favorite version of the Psalm I'm discussing at biblegateway.com it's very easy to search and look at your favorite translation or multiple translations
My bible has a lovely intro to Psalms I'd like to share:
God's Word was written to be studied, understood, and applied, and the book of Psalms lends itself most directly to application. We may turn to Psalms looking for something, but sooner or later we will meet Someone. As we read and memorize Psalms, we will discover how much they are already part of us. They put our deepest hurts, longings, thoughts, and prayers into words. They gently push us toward being what God designed us to be- people who love and live for him.
but first, the post I meant to post a while ago.
