Day 166: Psalms 10:11 - 18:18

Reading the Psalms is so wonderful because, in a way, each chapter in the book is basically the exact same theme as the entire Bible - Redemption. If it were about any other subject, it would really just end up being boring and redundant, but reading about God's grace and His provision for His people is a topic that will never get old. It's so encouraging to see in each chapter how although the writer is initially in some sort of trouble, God breaks through and takes care of Him in the end. It's a wonderful testament of what will happen in our own lives if we will just remain faithful and do what God has called us to do. If we're always focused on our problems, our problems are all we'll ever see, but if we will take the time to focus on Who God is and what He wants to do for us, we will eventually see His redemption come to pass in our lives.

- Lord, help me to always live as the Psalmists and make sure that You are always my focus rather than the problems in front of me. I know that no matter how big my problems may be, You will always be bigger. -
