I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Psalms 72-77.

    I will once again encourage those reading this blog to read the passage for the day. The psalmist expresses his ideas much better than I can, and I cannot cover everything that is in the passage. I will start by writing about Psalms 73. There we are warned about focusing our attention on the wicked and the things they do. If we do that we will become envious of them and wonder what point there is to keeping ourselves pure. If we instead focus on God and on worshiping Him we will realize that the “joys” and pleasures of the wicked are empty and fleeting. Time spent watching the wicked will leave us bitter and torn up inside. Time spent with God will heal us inside and drain the bitterness from our souls.

    It may seem like we no longer see God’s miraculous signs and hear no word from His prophets, but that is because we listen to those who insult God. Instead let us praise Him and tell the world about the wonderful things He has done. At the time He has selected God will bring judgement against the wicked and increase the power of the godly. We do not see God’s miraculous signs because we do not look for them. We do not hear God’s voice because we are not listening. If we recount the small things which God has done, we will start to see the bigger things which He does. As we recount the words we have heard from God, we will hear His voice more clearly.
