For the last 10 years, I've tried to keep up a daily practice of reading at least one Psalm per day, and I've been mostly successful at it. Here's my simple structure that any one can do, and August 1 is a great time to jump in, as you'll see in a second.
Every year, on January 1, I start with Psalm 1. Simple enough. I'll read one per day, which puts me at Psalm 30 on January 30. Ok, no rocket science yet. Then on February 1, I keep going with Psalm 31. If you do the math, you'll see that by February 28, I'll be reading Psalm 58, and what I do for March 1, is I go ahead and read Psalms 59, 60, and 61. That way the day of the month coincides with at least the one's places in the Psalm number.
This is an easy way to keep up with daily reading, and it didn't take me long to figure out that every year, I'd finish Psalm 150 (the last Psalm) on June 30. Then as if perfectly orchestrated form eternity past, all 31 days in the month of July match up to the 31 chapters of Proverbs. By August 1, we're ready to start over at Psalm 1 and do the whole thing again, hitting Psalm 150 on November 30, and spending all 31 days of December in the Proverbs. It's almost too perfect.
If you join me on this Psalm journey, I think you'll find that it is a great way to get intimate with the Psalms in a way that's easy to pick back up if you fall behind. Additionally, if each day of the year is attached to a Psalm, it's kind of fun to calculate the Psalm of the day for your birthday! You'll never guess what mine is. October 29, the infamous Psalm 119.
Go do the math and let me know what your birthday Psalm is.
Much Love and happy Psalm-ing
