First 100 Days – Day 27 – Wisdom and Praise January 27
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.

Hi!

Thanks for joining me in this journey,
In His hands and under His wings,

Ps 63:7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
“The Lord does not give me rules, but He makes His standard very clear.
If my relationship to Him is that of love, I will do what He says without hesitation.
If I hesitate, it is because I love someone I have placed in competition with Him, namely, myself.” – from My Utmost for His highest
