Old Testament Books

The Psalms & Proverbs plan was compiled by the folks at YouVersion.com to help you read through the book of Psalms twice and Proverbs 12 times. This plan is meant to be read over the course of one full year.

Psalms & Proverbs

The Psalms and Proverbs are filled with songs, poetry, and writings - expressing true worship, longing, wisdom, love, desperation, and truth. This plan will take you through all of the Psalms and Proverbs in just 31 days. Here, you will encounter God and find comfort, strength, solace, and encouragement that covers the breadth of the human experience.

Psalms and Proverbs in 31 Days

We live in a world that's fascinated with celebrities. Magazines and the paparazzi have built an entire industry around helping us answer the question, "What is he or she like?”

In this devotional from Athens Church, we’ll ask that question about a particular "celebrity" and ask, "What is God like?”, and we’ll focus on one of the most famous Bible passages, Psalm 23, to help us answer it. In doing so, we'll discover that when it comes to God, there is a lot to like!

Like: A Journey Through Psalm 23

Just like the disciples who followed Jesus during his time on earth, we look to our Savior for wisdom and direction. As the disciples saw first-hand and we read in the Bible, Jesus gained strength when he spent time with the Father. So, we ask him, “Jesus, teach us to pray.” This reading plan from author Bobby Schuller shows you how to follow Jesus’ lead in “Praying the Psalms.”

Living The Psalms With Jesus: Grow Closer To God Through Prayer

What does it mean to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength? Do you long for the Lord to do a radical work in your life and your heart? Join us for this ten-day plan from Thistlebend Ministries. Psalm 63 will reveal the thirst-quenching relationship God desires to have with us.

Falling in Love Again With Your Lord

The Psalms find the words that express our deepest and strongest emotions, no matter what the circumstances. These devotions, inspired by The Passion Translation Psalms: Poetry on Fire, combined with the daily readings, will turn sighing into singing and trouble into triumph. This 10–day reading plan includes the Psalms of praise and the Word spanning Psalms 107-150.

Psalms of Praise and the Word

A Psalm a day keeps depression away.  Glean from the Psalms and Proverbs, one chapter at a time. You will read six Psalms each week for six months and one chapter in Proverbs every seven days.  Then you will have finished both books in 6 months. 

Life and Healing in the Psalms

The Psalms are full of rich truth and deep emotion. The writers didn’t ignore the world around them or try to pretend their problems weren’t real. Instead, they drew from the truth they knew about God (his words, his ways, his character) to shape their worship and worldview. We have the privilege and joy of drawing from this well of truth to encourage our own souls today.

Prestonwood Worship - Songs Of The People

The Book of Psalms is known as the Bible's songbook — Jesus knew the psalms intimately, and relied on them to face every situation, including his death. In The Songs of Jesus, renowned pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller offers daily inspiration and wisdom from the Book of Psalms. Each day readers will encounter a fresh, inspiring lesson from one of the most beloved books in the Bible. In this sample, you will experience the first fourteen days of the devotional, based on Psalms 1-9. For devotionals on all 150 Psalms, buy Timothy and Kathy Keller’s latest book, The Songs of Jesus: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Psalms.

Where Am I Going?: A Study in Proverbs

In our rapidly changing and powerfully challenging world, we need wisdom for living. Our society pulls and pushes us in different directions, and in this turmoil we need a mental compass to guide us in the right way. We need wisdom for right living. This seven-day plan, based mainly on Proverbs, explores this subject as presented by Solomon.

Wisdom for Right Living

Share this College Devotional with others as Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this wisdom-packed devotional. Before you speak, choose to weigh your words. Let the Word of God lead your heart.

Let God soften and lead your heart as you read this message.

Guard Your Words

One common denominator every individual needs is wisdom. Wisdom to make the "big" decisions in life, but also wisdom to make the day-to-day decisions in life. Man has continually searched for wisdom from every reasonable source. But the single greatest source of divine wisdom is God's Word. The single greatest collection of wise teachings in God's Word is found in the book of Proverbs. 

Searching for Wisdom

In a confusing world, who can you trust for advice about how to be a strong, wise man of God? Solomon was the third and final king of the United Kingdom of Israel and one of the wisest men to ever live. In Proverbs, Solomon shares wisdom with his son that is still relevant to any man who desires to follow God today. 

Proverbs: A Strong Man Is Wise

Everybody dies. We don’t always like to talk about it, but the reality of death has a profound effect on life. In Part 2 of Ecclesiastes Explained, Solomon continues his quest for meaning as he explores wisdom and folly, goodness and wickedness, all in light of one harsh truth: death is coming. Join us for clear, insightful audio guides as Kris Langham walks through each chapter in just ten minutes.

Ecclesiastes Explained Part 2 | the Meaning of Death

Written by an elderly King Solomon, Ecclesiastes reflects on a life of meaningless pursuits. Solomon writes that the world's pursuits, from wealth to self-indulgence, are vain and unfulfilling. Ecclesiastes determines that God and his presence make life fulfilling, and true wisdom is to fear God and keep his commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13).

Most of us wrestle with fears of the future and regrets about the past. The author of Ecclesiastes reminds us that God calls us to enjoy his daily blessings in the present. As we recognize God as the giver of all good gifts, we acknowledge his control over our lives and our world, so that even in difficult times we can rest in an awareness of his goodness.

Everything Is Never Enough

Finding Purpose in All of Life's Sorrows and Joys

People often search for the meaning of life from wealth, relationships, careers, charity, religion, etc. However, the reality is that there will always be a void in the human soul unless we are reconnected with our Creator. The author of the book of Ecclesiastes concludes that a life without God is just vanity, for God is where we find the true meaning of our existence.

Through the Bible: Ecclesiastes

In Ecclesiastes, the author attempts to find meaning and purpose in life. As we read, we see anguish and regret over failed attempts at happiness through wealth, fame, and achievement. Ultimately, he realizes that the purpose of humanity is to know God and enjoy what God has given us. Only God can provide the fulfillment for which our hearts and souls long.

What's the Point? (A Study in Ecclesiastes: Part 3)
