How to use this Psalms reading guide: • Read consistently, but it’s okay if you get behind. If you miss a day, no worries, just pick up on the next day and keep reading. The Psalms don’t have to be read in order! • What are the Psalms? - The Psalms naturally are poems and songs - try to read them as poetry some days and try singing them as songs other days! - The Psalms also are naturally emotional writings. They tap into the depths of human emotion - anger, joy, depression, guilt, celebration, jubilation, questioning, doubt, intense faith, intense fear, and so on. Embrace the Psalms for what they are and have them meet you where you are each day. • ADVICE: - Try to ask yourself and answer these 3 questions each day: 1. What does this say about God? 2. What does this say about me? 3. What does this say about how God and me can be reunited? - Try to write down a one-sentence summary for each Psalm. Maybe keep a journal and record all your entries there, or just them in the margins of your Bible. • MORE THAN ANYTHING, enjoy the Psalms and have them open you up to what God has in store for you this summer!
