These chapters show us the power and presence of God in our lives. Where have you seen God moving in your life? In the Past and Currently? Do you trust God like Moses did? Where do you need to learn to trust the Lord more in your life?

Today, after your time of silence, open up the Psalms and begin to pray Psalm 1 over your life. Personalize it, and apply that to your life, however that may look. You can pray the words exactly as they are or use them as a springboard to start a prayer. You can write the prayer as a journal project or you can just sit and pray. This exercise has really been a blessing to me as I have learned to pray. Everyday I pray one Psalm over myself, my family, our country, etc…wherever the Lord leads from that Psalm.
