We’re in month two of a devotional reading calendar that I did back in 2017-18, and it’s gonna take us four more months to get through it – my plan is to leisurely meditate my way through the book of the psalms.  I’ll read one chapter each day, and spend some time, as I’m reading, meditating on what I’ve read.  And I hope to carry that meditation through the day with me – I intend to find a word, or the turn-of-a-word, or a phrase, or a whole verse, that sticks with me for the day.  I want to discover more of the Person and character of God Himself as I read.  I intend to meditate on the words of the psalms to find the What and Who they say God is, and then see how I should or can appropriate those truths for myself. 
 
Some days are gonna be really short reads, while others will be much longer.  On the really short days, I may want to add some other reading as well, but my focus is going to be on a new, or renewed, discovery of God Himself.  So I invite you, in this Christmas month, when we celebrate that God revealed Himself in flesh, to join me on this simple adventure, and let’s see if God shows Himself to us in some new freshness as we wander along through these heart-felt, soulful reflections.  Take some notes, and I’d enjoy hearing from you as we move along.  I’m looking forward to reading these words again, and seeing what the Holy Spirit is gonna whisper to me. 

Thanks for joining me!
Shalom, DP
