JOY, day 1

Hey, sorry I got off-track last week.  I didn't post Friday's post.  Today we start a new week, hope it is a good one.

Psalm 16 is our study material this week.

Psalm 19

 ¹The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

 ²Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

 ³There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

 ⁴Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

 ⁵Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

 ⁶His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

 ⁷The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

 ⁸The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

 ⁹The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

 ¹⁰More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

 ¹¹Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

 ¹²Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

 ¹³Keep 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.

 ¹⁴Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

(KJV)

Day 1: INITIAL READ/CONTEXT
With an expectant heart, read this week’s passage. Keep a pen and your journal handy. On this
initial read, simply write down anything that jumps off the page and ministers to your own heart.
If you are unfamiliar with the passage, look into the context of the verses. Why were these words
written? By whom, to whom?
Read the passage again. This time write down any questions you may have about the passage.
The purpose of the initial read is to get familiar with the text, not to answer all of your questions.


I kind of like the flowery language of the KJV.  Off to study this and pray...will try to answer when y'all wake up! :)  Have a great day!
