Chronological Reading of the Bible - Day 197 - July 16, 2026

This is part of a year long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.Psalms 131:1-3- The psalmist expresses humble trust in God, rejecting pride and concern over matters too great for him.- Like a content weaned child, the soul finds peace, urging Israel to hope in the Lord forever.Psalms 138:1 - 139:24- David praises God wholeheartedly for His unfailing love, faithfulness, and deliverance amid trouble, calling kings to glorify Him.- God intimately knows and is present everywhere, fearfully created the psalmist, and is asked to search the heart and lead in the everlasting way.Acts 13:32-52- Paul proclaims the good news that God fulfilled His promises by raising Jesus, as testified in the Scriptures.- Many Gentiles rejoice and believe, but jealous Jews reject the message, prompting Paul to turn to the Gentiles and resulting in persecution.
