Here's a beautiful promise:
Psalms 32:7
"You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance."
Selah
When I was a little girl growing up hearing my father preach, he once devoted every Wednesday Night Bible Study to the book of Psalms.
One Psalm, every Wednesday.
Of course, he split Psalms 119 into sections.
I don't know how long this took for him to
"Preach his way through the Psalms"
But I do remember enjoying these sermons.
My father gave me his sermon books on Psalms
a few months before he passed away.
They now sit in my library and I love to open them up and read them and picture my dad studying for hours over the sermons he wrote.
Selah.
I remember my father explaining the meaning of this word
found so frequently in the book of Psalms.
He simply said, "Think on that."
Oh, I've heard other explanations of the word,
but I still like the one I learned from my father.
Today's a perfect day to pick up our Bibles
and find a portion of scripture to read
and simply,
"Think on that."
Enjoy your Sunday!

This book of sermon notes from your dad is such a treasure. My husband's dad was a pastor, too, and, when he passed, my husband got his sermon notes. Right now they are all loose, stored in a box, but we started putting them together in a scrapbook, so they can be easily looked at and reread. What a priceless treasure!
