Week 13 of Bible 180

Hello there, sweet Bible-reading friends and happy week 13 to you!!

Wow! Today we embark on 13 weeks of reading the Bible together. I am so glad that we are doing this together. Thank you so much for joining me.

If you are on schedule with me, last week we wrapped up Job and then we jumped right into the Psalms. My journaling pen was rather busy last week, writing down nuggets that spoke directly to me, pulling wisdom and recording it in my journal.

I have had lots of questions with my business and so have been seeking His guidance there and also in parenting. Hearing His wisdom over and over was soothing, nourishing and exciting to me.

I wrote Psalm 52: 8-9 on an index card and posted it to read several times throughout the day. I love the image of a flourishing olive tree, reliant on God and recognizing His abundant provision and grace.

Here it is:

But I am like and olive tree flourishing in the house of God;

I trust in God’s unfailing love forever and ever.

I will praise you forever for what you have done.

In your name I will hope, for your name is good.

I will praise you in the presence of your saints.

–Psalm 52:8-9

In this time of “manifesting” all around us, what better thing to declare than truth. I found this excerpt from the Psalms to be a beautiful verse to keep me focused on the true source of all blessings, of all wisdom. I read it every time I sit down at my desk. It helps me to keep my priorities straight, reminding me of Him and the beauty and true strength that comes from reliance on Him.

I do hope and pray that you are hearing Him speak wisdom to you as you are reading, too.

If there are any passages that especially called out to you this past week, I’d love to hear about them.

Like I said, my pen was BUSY recording verse after verse every single day. The Psalms are rich in wisdom. I loved coming to hear His wisdom and truth, day after day… especially after being bombarded with so much that is not true from all sides all day every day. There is a lot of mud-slinging out there. My time in the Word has been girding me and bringing me back to focus. I hope it has been the same for you.

Check in, please!

How is reading coming for you? Where are you in the reading?

Are you also finding comfort and redirection as you read?

Please let me know your thoughts on that… and anything else that you want to share… in the comments. I love reading your words each week. :)
