Rest Day
Each Sunday is a Rest Day. There is no new Bible reading to do. Today, the goal is simple: rest in the presence of God. Maybe you need to use today to get caught up on the reading plan if you’re behind, maybe you want to journal what you’re learning so you don’t forget what God is teaching you, or maybe you want to spend time in concentrated prayer–do that. Above all, just spend time in God’s presence.
Each Rest Day, we will have an additional element to help you dig deeper. Sometimes it will be extra resources to further your study, a video to watch, or a podcast to listen to. Sometimes we’ll have a verse to commit to memorize to help you hide God’s Word in your heart.

Refelction Guide
As you reflect on Psalms 119-123 this week, ask yourself the following questions:
- Which psalm resonated with you most this week? Why?
- What did this week’s readings teach you about God?
- What did this week’s reading teach you about humanity (and yourself)?

This past week, I was most struck by Psalm 122:6. I must be praying regularly for the peace of Jerusalem. The day will come!
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.”
I was struck by the importance of our eyes:
Psalm 119:37. Turn my eyes away from worthless things,
Psalm 119:68. My eyes stay open through the watch at night so I may meditate on your promises.
Palm 121:1. I lift my eyes up to the mountains, where does my help come from.
Psalm 123:1. I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sits enthroned in heaven.
I pray I can keep my eyes on you Lord!!
