The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a Yearنموونە
Week 27. Day 3. Psalms 20-28.
Psalms to focus on: 20-22
The ‘Psalm 2 king’ comes into focus in these psalms
Ps 20 is a prayer for the king.
Ps 21 describes how this prayer has been answered. Notice how in both Ps 20 and 21, the fate of the people depends on the fate of the king.
Ps 22 shows that even the anointed king can suffer greatly, even though innocent of sin. Jesus quotes from this Psalm on the cross to describe his forsakenness by God.
Bonus: What picture of the king is painted here? How is this similar/different to the picture in Psalm 2?
NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.
About this Plan
The Bible OverBrew is a friendly virtual book group, helping you read the Bible in big chunks, preferably with a mug of tea! Maybe you've tried to read through the Bible before, but gave up when it felt confusing or too intense? We are here to help you! We provide notes and questions to guide your reading, and note ‘key chapters’ if you don’t have time to read it all. In our podcast at the end of each week we draw out the key themes, and how it all points to Christ. We’d love you to join us!
