The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a YearSample

Week 27. Day 2. Psalms 11-19.

In these Psalms we continue to learn of the life of faith, but we are also learning of the Davidic king: who lives a life that is far more difficult than Psalm 2 might have led us to believe. As you read, see if you notice any repeated themes in these psalms.

Psalm to focus on: Psalm 13

Psalm 13 is a model ‘lament’ where the Psalmist pours out his heart to God. See if you can give headings to the three different parts of the psalm.

• v1-2
• v3-4
• v5-6

Psalm 13 gives us a picture of what genuine faith looks like! True believers experience great hardship, and sometimes wrestle with God. It also points to the experience of the Davidic king. The one who will one day judge the nations (Ps 2:8) will first suffer along with his people.

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.
