scriptures

as part of my list i am making an effort to read thru the whole bible. i've read alot of the bible but i'm not sure if i've read the WHOLE thing. since our womens bible study has been in the book of psalms i thought i would start there. on may 1st i started reading psalms. i divided the chapters into 30 days of reading. this works out to about 5 chapters a day. so on may 30th i will have read the entire book of psalms. i must admit i have read the book of psalms before but it never hurts to read them again. i find it fascinating how many psalms we have made into songs. and i'm not just talking about hymns but songs i listen to just about everyday on the radio or on my ipod. the word of God is truly timeless and speaks to us no matter where we are or where we have been. below are just a few verses that have really ministered to me this week. also the song "not to us" that we sang this morning in church is from ps 115.

ps 102
even they will perish, but You endure;
and all of them will wear out like a garment;
like clothing You will change them and they will be changed.
but You are the same,
and Your years will not come to an end.
the children of Your servants will continue,
and their desendants will be established before You.

ps 143:6
i stretch out my hands to You;
my soul longs for You, as a parched land. Selah.

ps 144:15b
how blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!

ps 145:15-16
the eyes of all look to You,
and You give them their food in due time.
You open Your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

ps 84:12
o Lord of hosts;
how blessed is the man who trusts in You!

ps 55:6
i said "oh, that i had wings like a dove!
i would fly away and be at rest.

ps 115:1
not to us, o Lord, not to us,
but to Your name give glory
because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.
