"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night." -- Psalm 1:1-6

If you've been reading along since the first of the year, congratulations!  It's no mistake that today's selection is from Psalm 1.  In the One Year Bible, the Psalms repeat themselves, so you have read through all of the Psalms.  But do not stop reading them... these are the songs of the ancient church.  This was their hymnal and worship guide.  To stop reading them would be like turning off the radio now that you've heard each song once.  No, instead read them again and again.  Memorize the ones you can.  As you read through the Psalms, you are actually engaged in worship and prayer.  Blessed are you, oh Reader, whose delight is in the Lord and his word.  So meditate on it day and night.

Readings:  2 Kings 22:3-23:30; Acts 21:37-22:16; Psalm 1:1-6; Proverbs 18:11-12
