Psalm 27, 57, 87, 117, 147 and Proverb 27

Today’s readings have a lot of songs in them that I know from years ago.  I used these scripture songs to memorize scriptures and these became very special scriptures to my heart and to my walk with Jesus.  Even the Psalms about enemies brings a joy and peace to my heart that God is with me through all storms.  There is such a comfort in verses that just remind us about Who God is.

Proverbs has some useful bits as usual.

Let’s dig in.
