Are you really enjoying this book? I am! It really speaks to my heart.
Continue to follow the pattern set in last week's reading. For review it is:
1) Read each Psalm and fill in column two and three on the chart you have made.
2) Write the title of the Psalm next to the corresponding Psalm
3) Consider also any of the following activities with each Psalm
a. Seeing most of the Psalms are prayers, you can personalize them and pray it back to God.
b. Write out the Psalm while personalizing it.
c. Turn the Psalm into a song of praise to God.
d. Memorize the Psalms, or parts of Psalms that really speak to you as a prayer or a praise to have on the tip of your tongue and in your mind as situations arise.
If you are one of the people doing just the NT Bible challenge, you might want to add a Psalm a day to your reading. It really is a beautiful book.

Always begin your time of God with prayer. Ask him for understanding and insights. You can pick out a verse, thought or feeling from the passage and think on it (mediate) on it all day. Meditating on God's word means to digest it, put it into your mind, think on it, and concentrate in different ways on the passage.
Some ways you can do this is:
1. Put yourself into the scene.
2. Emphasize different words in the verse.
3. Paraphrase the passage in your own words.
4. Pray the passage back to God if it is a prayer, song, poem, etc (personalize it).
5. Use SPACE PETS acrostic to ask some standard questions.
S - Sins to confess? Do I need to make restitution?
P - Promises to claim? Have I met the conditions(s)?
A - Attitudes to change? Am I willing?
C - Commands to obey? Even if I don't feel like it?
E - Examples to follow? One to copy or avoid?
P - Prayers to pray? Is there something I need to tell God?
E - Errors to avoid?
T - Truths about God or the Bible I need to believe?
