Five months in to my Bible reading program, I’ve been back to reading the Bible most days if not every day, but largely also back to reading in a patchwork fashion, like I’d gotten accustomed to doing in recent previous years. In the last week, a friend of mine also texted me about another Bible reading app, which I’ve since downloaded and used probably on average every other day. Plus I have my Biblegateway.com app, both from which I use my reading program as well as to see what the verse of the day is.
In my virtual Bible study, we focused on a passage from
which King David transitions the responsibility of building the temple to his
son Solomon, which is a really cool passing-of-the-torch moment that we don’t
often get to see, especially from father to son. In my in-person Bible study,
thanks to a church service from a couple weeks prior, I was inspired to focus
on four Psalms that focus on praising God, but in different ways. For
reference, they are: Psalm 47, Psalm 147, Psalm 148, and Psalm 150.
What happened at church a couple weeks ago was that, 10 minutes
into his sermon, our pastor felt God telling him we needed to stop everything
and praise and worship Him. So our pastor called the band back up, and had each
band member demonstrate praising God on their instruments. I wasn’t in the
band, but it was really cool to witness and experience from the congregation.
Psalm 150 immediately came to mind, even though it wasn’t part of the (albeit
brief) sermon message.
Next month will be interesting. I’m taking a class for the
first time in almost a year, and combined with what I expect to be a continuation
of work being as busy as it has been, I’m not exactly sure how I’ll be able to
juggle everything. I’m still intending to host the two Bible studies. Beyond
that, we will see.
