Memory Monday: Psalm 100

I just finished the last day's homework in Priscilla Shirer's He Speaks to Me. I think I've underlined just about the whole book!

I asked all the gals in my group to come to Bible study on Wednesday ready to talk about the last chapter--as well as to share their "one thing"--the lesson they want to hold close and make part of their lives from here on out.

I write my "one thing" (or two--or three!) in the front of my Bible study books, along with my name and the date and place I did the study. That way I can go back and quickly find that one thing that was dearest to me--something that can take forever if I haven't marked it clearly in the front cover! It's hard to find that thing you underlined and starred when there's underlining and stars all over the place.

As a group, we've been memorizing Psalm 100. I finally stuck a card up on the bathroom mirror to help me memorizing. Nothing like saying my verses out loud while I dry and iron my hair! Keeps all those random thoughts at bay. ;)

(And it keeps my mind occupied so I don't notice the gray hairs I've been finding lately. Been yanking them out up to this point, but I'm starting to think that's not going to be such a good idea. They are getting mad and multiplying!)

So...Psalm 100!

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

I highlighted all the verbs for which we are the subject. There are many psalms (like 23!) that are focused primarily on God's actions; this one shows our action in response to him.

Do these words describe my days? Something to ponder.

I love your idea of writing a top insight into your book! I'll have to remember to do that, too.

I'm finally finishing up Psalm 103. Still not perfect by a long shot, but it's been a wonderful psalm to reflect on and memorize.

I am a gal who underlines and highlights in my books. So I definitely know what you mean that it's hard to find something starred and underlined when there's a ton of underlining and stars in the book already! :)

I've been seeing gray hairs too for probably a year or so now. But it's now to where almost every time I look in the mirror they are VERY noticeable (at least to me anyway). I haven't quite figured out how I feel about them. :)
