Greetings fellow followers of Christ.
Here is a quote that I really agree with- "The Word of God cannot be understood without a constant and laborious study, without a careful and prayerful scrutiny of its contents...By divorcing a verse from its setting or singling out a single clause, one may "prove" not only absurdities but real falsities by the very words of Scripture." - A.W. Pink
Psalms 119 has 22 sections, at least it does in the NIV bible. A thought came to me a few minutes ago. I think we all should read through it, even if you are already familiar with it. I'll admit, that I haven't read every psalm, but only a select few chapters over and over. I have not read this one yet. This chapter has 176 verses and if we break it up, it will not seem so overwhelming.
I think we should read a section a day and contemplate and pray about it. Pray that God speaks to you through these verses and that we as a body grow stronger through our diligence with studying and application of His word, along with brokenness and humility in our prayer lives. The Holy Spirit is the one that will do all the real work, we just have to allow it and not be our own worst enemies.
Also, it doesn't matter when you decide to start. It could be today it could be in a month. I don't know when you will start and who am I to dictate such a thing, I only implore you, as your brother in Christ, to simply make the time and effort to do it. Feel free to reply or post your own reflections, revelations, testimonies or prayers on here. Keep seeking Christ and read your bible! God bless you all!
