Bible Exploration: Week 1

I hope everyone has had a great journey during week 1 of our Bible exploration. If you are following the YouVersion.com 1 year reading schedule here is a list of you week one accomplishments.

• Genesis = 12 Chapters
• Psalms = 16 Chapters
• Matthew = 8 Chapters

Congratulations on a total of 36 chapters read. What I will try to do each week is share the passage that stood out the most or had the most impact to me. So during week 1 the passage that effected me the most was Psalms 16.

Psalms 16:1-11 A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. [2] I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.” [3] As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight. [4] The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips. [5] The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. [6] The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. [7] I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. [8] I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. [9] Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. [10] For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. [11] You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

I really needed to read that today. I think I will be praying that psalm for the whole week. So what passages stood out to you? Comment and share it with the rest of us.

Without further ado, here is your reading for week 2.

So, by show of comments, who is still on this Bible Exploration?
