April 29, 2026 - Psalm 1; 19

Week 18

• Psalm 51

• 2 Samuel 24, Psa 24

• Psalm 1, 19

• Psalm 103, 119:1-48

• Psalm 119:49-128

From the beginning of time, God has been making himself known. The two primary ways he reveals himself are through creation and Scripture, both of which show God's power and glory.

They come up repeatedly in the Psalms, which the people of God used and still use to worship him. Psalm 1 sets the course for the book by presenting an important teaching for life in general:

Every person must choose the path he or she will follow-either the path of God or the path of self. One leads to abundant life, the other to destruction. The obvious correct choice is to choose the path of God, which means turning from sin and filling your life with him and his Word. Psalm 19 echoes the benefit of choosing the right path and responding positively to God's revelation of himself in creation and his Word. God's ultimate revelation of himself, which all of Scripture points to, came in Jesus Christ, our Rock and our Redeemer (19:14). When we choose to live in obedience to God and his Word, we are choosing abundant life with Christ.

As you reflect on these two psalms this week, ask God to increase your delight in His Word.
