I love the Psalms. I think every person should have their own personal Psalm. Out of 150, there is one for you. I am sure of this. Honestly...

"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." – Psalm 91:1

The Psalms are like one big medicine cabinet. I know. This is crude and simplistic; nevertheless, whatever ails your life, you can most likely find the answer from God’s Word in the Psalms. For me personally:

• Psalm 18…brought my freedom from bondage

• Psalm 27…called me into His extravagant presence

• Psalm 91…heard His heart for me during stage 4 cancer

• Psalm 107…encouraged my family through some tough decisions

• Psalm 149…caused me to worship in warfare in the Spirit.

You get the idea.

As we “Safer at Home,” may I encourage you to start reading through the Psalms—just a few a day. Allow the Lord to speak directly to Your heart and underline the words, verses, or phrases that touch you. Yes, read straight through them.

Then, return to the beginning and savor each chapter slowly. You will find hope, safety, comfort, joy, strength, and peace.

Tell me. Who doesn’t need any of those things right now? Take the psalms everywhere you go. And think of them as a spiritual prescription. Open each morning with some psalms chased by a strong cup of coffee and spending time with Jesus. Then, take a dose before bedtime with a refreshing drink of Holy Spirit living water. I can guarantee you, your sleep will be sweeter

And most important of all, find the Psalm Jesus is giving just for you.
