Today’s psalms begin with God’s protection and end in praise, reminding us that our Protector will not allow our foot to slip—a reason for heartfelt praise indeed.
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
Psalm 98:8 says, “Let the rivers clap their hands; let the mountains shout together for joy.” Take a moment to look out your window. How is creation praising God where you are?
Restlessness runs deep in the human family. The people of the Exodus generation labored through forty years of wandering in the wilderness, forever desiring rest, yet refusing to pay its asking price. They wouldn’t believe the promises of God. —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
