Several years ago when I was teaching the weekly scripture class for our RS, I decided my favorite book in the Old Testament is Psalms. I especially loved reading all of the verses praising the Lord. I even had the thought that maybe someday I could write a song praising Him based on some of the Psalms.
For the next 3 weeks with the Come Follow Me curriculum, we are studying Psalms and I'm so excited! In "Don't Miss This" for this week, David Butler and Emily Freeman split up the first third into suggested daily readings for people wanting to read the entire book instead of just the assigned chapters. Yes, please!
This week: 1-11, 12-19, 20-27, 28-34, 35-40, 41-46, catch up.
They also showed a pyramid showing the most common themes in Psalms. Bottom to top: Praise & Thanksgiving, Lament, Wisdom, Messianic, Trust, and Hope. I started a document to list as many favorite lines for each of these topics as I can. Just today in 11 short chapters, I typed 36 lines I love. If I ever try writing a song, this will be a great resource.
