We fight off personal despondency through a habit of daily Bible reading.

That's what we've been seeing here in these early weeks of 2023.

As we focus our attention on Psalm 77, thank you for joining us here on this Wednesday.

We're going to do so with one last clip from John Pepper sermon on Psalm 77.

We close our little study of the Psalm with a practical plea and a summons from Pastor

John for making and holding to a daily Bible reading routine in this new year.

Here he is speaking to his church in the early days of the year 2000.

Remember, I will remember, I will meditate, I will muse.

We must become an intentional, purposeful, active, aggressive warrior people who fight

for delight.

He doesn't come automatically.

We fight for delight.

I close with this very practical plea, summons, call, and this will you this afternoon before

you go to bed tonight.

If you haven't already got it, take enough time, five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes,

whatever, to plan when in your days you are going to read the Bible every day in the year

2000.

If you don't have a time picked out, it will happen.

If you say, I'll read it tomorrow, whenever I get a chance, there will be no chance.

Satan will see to that, your flesh will see to that.

If you don't plan to read the Bible at a particular time, you will become a hit and miss hazard

Christian and weak.
