Psalm 119

Our worship team usually begins our Sunday worship services with the reading of a Psalm. They have been going consecutively through the book of Psalms until Psalm 119, and then for some mysterious reason (maybe because it is the longest chapter in the Bible) they skipped it for another time. Well, last Sunday Eric Randall had a clever idea for his sermon which also corrected that curious omission. Eric made little slips of paper each one printed with a different letter of the Hebrew alphabet, each one representing the title of a section of Psalm 119, an acrostic poem. He then had each of us pick a couple of the slips of paper at random and which ever sections we had, those we were to read and pray about as we took turns until we had all read and prayed over the entire Psalm. It was an ingenious and painless way for all of us to read, consider and pray through Psalm 119, both the longest psalm and the longest chapter in the Bible.          -click for photos-
