Our Journey – Week 22

(Reflection Date – Should have been: June 1, 2008 )

During week 22 we read through more of 2 Samuel, the Psalms, and 1 Chronicles!

Come join us to read through the Bible Chronologically – this six day plan gives you Sunday off so that you can have a devoted prayer time to reflect and journal on what you’ve read throughout the week! And if needed – a day to catch up on any readings you may have missed. Please know that you can begin with the 1st of the year or at any time you please (and then catch up when you’re able to – maybe even next year)! May God Bless you as you walk and build your relationship closer with Him!

WEEK 22

In 2 Samuel 22 David shares his Song of Praise, which is also shared in Psalm 18 – which we read back in week 17! See both chapters side by side to read through – able to compare them from BibleGateway.com! My Life Application NIV Study Bible shares what “David Reveals Truths About God In His Song of Praise:”

DAVID SAYS, “THE LORD IS MY…”

• Rock
• Fortress
• Deliverer
• Refuge

DAVID NAMES THESE CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD! HE IS…

• Saving
• Worthy of Praise
• Hearing
• Angry (against enemies)
• Rescuing
• Rewarding
• Seeing
• Faithful
• Showing (revealing) Himself
• Shrewd
• Powerful
• Strong

• Flawless
• Shielding (us from enemies)
• Giving
• Gentle

I also want to point out from this weeks reading… we can pray & ask for victory over any situation… as stated in Psalm 108! I prayed this week: I not only ask for help & guidance father, but for victoryover these stressful situations; as Your Word says in Ps 108 – with You we will gain victory! Thank You Father for the victories over every situation!

Take the time to enjoy this song… as you reflect over Psalm 145:

The lyrics are:

psalm 145

by shane barnard

great is the Lord, so worthy of praise
great is the Lord

one generation will
commend Your kingdom
to one another
they will speak of You
and i will meditate
on Your wonder
and they, they will speak
of Your glorious splendor
of Your majesty
everyday i’ll praise thee
forever and ever

everyday i will praise
for You open Your hand
and satisfy desires of all things
my God the King

the Lord is gracious
and slow to anger
He is rich in love
He is good to all

all who call on Him
in truth He is near to
and He hears their cry
and saves them

I pray you’ve had a blessed time – reading through His Word! God Bless, HL

Take some time to memorize the Word… Suggestion:
Psalm 143:10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; may Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
