Exploring Scripture

Today's thought: According to the text in Heb.12:1, there are things that are sinful, and then there are “weights” (ESV) – “things that hinder” (NIV). These are not sinful in themselves, but they can rob us of spiritual vitality. Can you identify any in your life?

On Day 3 of our study of Psalm 1, we unpack three sets of triplets in the first verse describing the wicked. Today's thought: All of us are influenced. It can be by our upbringing, the people around us, the sermons we heard, or the books we read, to name a few. We need, however, to be shaped and influenced by what God says to us through the Scriptures.

For the second day of our study of Psalm 1, we look at the first word of the first verse, 'blessed'. Today's thought: in our hands is a book that, rightly understood and entered into, will open to us a deep well and usher us into a spiritual landscape that is beautiful beyond words.

Welcome to the first day (and first podcast attempt!) of this devotional on Psalm 1. Today's thought: the book of Psalms is placed roughly in the centre of the Bible. Maybe this is where our attention to Scripture, worship and prayer should be placed in our life as well.
