DAY 123: JOURNEY THROUGH THE BIBLE IN A YEAR

Our journey through Psalms 51-53 is about a simple question: Who do you serve? Who do you serve?

Ask the Lord to reveal His truth concerning Psalms 51-53 to you. Read Psalms 51-53. Let’s journey!

PsalmsAs we journey through the second book of Psalms, remember that nearly every psalm can be classified as a psalm of Lament or a psalm of praise. A lament is a cry to the Lord, asking Him to do something, most often when we are in pain, confused, or angry. A psalm of praise is a prayer of joy and celebration, thanking the Lord for His work.

Psalm 51-53: A simple theme but a most important theme is expressed in today’s reading. Sin separates us from God. Some say there is no God, which allows them, outwardly at least, to live carefree, thoughtless, sin-fueled lives. Lives offensive to God. No one lives a sinless life, however, denying God’s existence doesn’t excuse us from the consequences of sin. You must believe in God to effectively deal with sin. (Psalms 51:1-53:6)

Read chapters 51-53, and ask yourself these questions: Are these psalms of lament or praise? How do you know? What does this psalm teach you about the Lord? Take a moment and offer at least one praise and one lament from your own life. Who do you serve?
