Today, in between Romans and 1 Corinthians we are reading three Psalms and two chapters in 1 Chronicles..
June 11: Psalm 40, Psalm 41, Psalm 42, 1 Chronicles 13, 1 Chronicles 14 (click on the chapter to begin reading)
Psalm 40, of David. It speaks of the servant that comes to do God’s will. David attributes this to himself, but it is spiritually a messianic Psalm.
Psalm 41, of David. A prayer for help in sickness and protection from traitors and other enemies.
Psalm 42, A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A very old Psalm, it mentions Elohim many times, but Jehovah only once. It begins “As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.” Enjoy!
1 Chronicles 13.The Ark is brought from Kirjath Jearim.
1 Chronicles 14, David is firmly established at Jerusalem and with his growing army the Philistines are defeated.
