Our journey through the psalms continues today with Psalm 86, where David describes a kind Lord, ready to forgive and abounding in faithful love. Rejoice that He is the same God who loved you first.
Before you begin
Ask the Lord to give you a fresh sense of wonder as you read His Word. Pray for understanding and for an open, humble, obedient heart to receive what He wants to say to you.

Review
Write a sentence or two about what you've just read. This could be a summary of the passage or an observation or highlight that stood out to you.
Reflect
In Psalm 90, Moses prays that the Lord would teach us to number our days carefully “that we may develop wisdom in our hearts” (v. 12). Consider your current season of life and ask God for wisdom to discern clearly the work He has set before you today.
