EXODUS 27-28:
Yesterday in Exodus, we heard the beginning plans given by God for the Tabernacle (or sacred tent) and the Arc of the Covenant, that were to become the focal point for worship of God under the Covenant. The whole Tabernacle— and particularly the atonement cover on top of the Arc of the Covenant (called the Mercy Seat), symbolized that God was living among them. (Ex. 25:8) The whole Tabernacle was to be made exquisitely, as appropriate for God's own dwelling.

PSALM 2:
In Psalm 1, the author (probably David) mentioned obeying and studying ‘the Law’. In much of the Old Testament and even in the New, the word ‘Law’ came to mean more than the Mosaic Law or just the first 5 books of the Old Testament. We are within bounds to say that the author intended meditation and study of all of God’s Word. 

Today we have our first prophetic Psalm.

LUKE 3:
Yesterday in Luke we heard of Jesus' childhood, and today we will hear of John the Baptist's ministry.

Please join me in prayer:
Our God, we pray to You. You are the Lord of heaven’s armies, the Ruler of the universe. We thank You for this wonderful book of Psalms that we have started to read. We pray that we would not get sucked into the world’s system and the world’s thoughts, so that we won’t follow the advice of scornful and sinful people, or join with those who have no use for You, O God. Let us instead find joy and delight in obeying your Laws, including all of your Word. And may we find joy in studying it and meditating upon it day and night. Thank you Lord that this will not be in vain, but we will become like trees that grow by a stream, and we will bear fruit— spiritual fruit, at the right time. Thank you that Psalm 1 promises us that You will help us to flourish in everything we do, and you will watch over us wherever we go.
