Midweek Reminder - Psalms
by Thomas B. Grosh IV, D.Min., CMDA Northeast Regional Director
Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night. — Psalm 1:1-2
Small groups studying Jesus in the Book of Psalms at Penn State - Hershey.
Today, inspired by the study of the Book of Psalms which I enjoyed at the Christian Medical Society (CMS) / CMDA at Penn State - Hershey College of Medicine, I offer the Bible Project’s overview for the midweek reminder. On Monday, CMS / CMDA began their fall study of Psalms by watching the above video and discussing references to Jesus’ Crucifixion in various Psalms, with particular attention to Psalm 22. May we embrace, not reject Christ the cornerstone of our faith.
Looking for a quick, short prayer guide as you press into the fall? Take a Psalm a day. Begin by watching the Bible Project video and then turning to Psalm 1. Return to Psalms / texts which the Lord impresses upon you. If you desire material for a small group study on the book of Psalms, please contact me. Yes, more from the Book of Psalms coming in future posts.
Please join me in taking a few minutes
