First 100 days – day 19 Wisdom and Praise, January 19

Bible open to PsalmsWisdom and Praise
Psalm 19, 49, 79109, 139, and Proverb 19

There are songs, and cries for revenge.  There is beauty of being known, and the fear of being set aside.  There’s easy to embrace and difficult.  Proverbs has some interesting tidbits as well

Let’s dig in!

  • Psalm 19 KJV  The whole Psalm is a Go To Verse! great for memorizing.

      Ps 19:1-4 Creation declares God

      • The heavens declare the glory of God,
        and the sky[a] proclaims the work of His hands.
        Day after day they pour out speech;
        night after night they communicate knowledge.[b]
        There is no speech; there are no words;
        their voice is not heard.
        Their message[c] has gone out to all the earth,
        and their words to the ends of the world.

    • Ps 19:7-11 a song that I sang on the video
      • The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
      • The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
      • The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether
      • 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
      • 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
    • Ps 19:12-14 Prayer for help from sin – Go To Verses
      • 12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
      • 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
      • 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

        My mouth speaks wisdom;
        my heart’s meditation brings understanding.
        I turn my ear to a proverb;
        I explain my riddle with a lyre.
    • Ps 49:10 and following

        my heart is wounded within me.
        23 I fade away like a lengthening shadow;
        I am shaken off like a locust.
        24 My knees are weak from fasting,
        and my body is emaciated.[f]

        when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.
      • 26 Help me, Lord my God;

    • From My Prayer Journal
  • Psalm 139 – David’s Prayer Journal – the Blessing of being known
    • Ps 139:1-6 All Knowing God
      • Lord, You have searched me and known me.
        You know when I sit down and when I stand up;
        You understand my thoughts from far away.
        You observe my travels and my rest;
        You are aware of all my ways.
        Before a word is on my tongue,
        You know all about it, Lord.
        You have encircled me;
        You have placed Your hand on me.
        This extraordinary knowledge is beyond me.
        It is lofty; I am unable to reach it.
    • Ps 139:7-12 OmniPresent God
      • Where can I go to escape Your Spirit?
        Where can I flee from Your presence?
        If I go up to heaven, You are there;
        if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.
        If I live at the eastern horizon
        or settle at the western limits,[a]
        10 even there Your hand will lead me;
        Your right hand will hold on to me.
        11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me,
        and the light around me will be night”—
        12 even the darkness is not dark to You.
        The night shines like the day;
        darkness and light are alike to You.
    • Psalm 139:13-16  Known before born, Go To

      • For it was You who created my inward parts;[b]
        You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
        14 I will praise You
        because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made.[c][d]
        Your works are wonderful,
        and I know this very well.
        15 My bones were not hidden from You
        when I was made in secret,
        when I was formed in the depths of the earth.
        16 Your eyes saw me when I was formless;
        all my days were written in Your book and planned
        before a single one of them began.

        • Jeremiah 1:15 I chose you before I formed you in the womb; I set you apart before you were born. I appointed you a prophet to the nations.

        lead me in the everlasting way.

Hi!
My hope in the midst of despair and my joy in the face of depression is because of my relationship with Jesus Christ. If you do not have one, or are not sure you will join him in heaven, please check out these links:

Thanks for joining me in this journey,
In His hands and under His wings,

~Christi
Ps 63:7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.

“The Lord does not give me rules, but He makes His standard very clear.
If my relationship to Him is that of love, I will do what He says without hesitation.
If I hesitate, it is because I love someone I have placed in competition with Him, namely, myself.” –
from My Utmost for His highest
