P.O.W. Psalm 1: 1-2 ESV. Day 1

Thursday, December 4, 2025


Good Morning Friends!

Welcome to Day 1 of my Psalm of the Week study!  Today I focused on Psalm 1: 1-2. 

I'm so excited! I've always been fascinated by the Psalms. Being a musician, I am particularly drawn to them sing the Psalms are a book in the Bible of songs, prayers and poems. Mostly written by David. Who we will meet later on!

True confession: I have read the Psalms. I have listen to the Psalms being read.  I have heard them sung and chanted. But I have not really fully understood their meaning or their history.  I hope to begin to open my mind with this study. In addition, it is the longing of my heart to grow closer to God through praying and understanding the Psalms and to strengthen my faith and relationship with Him!

The following post is from my Tiktok account on 11/07/2025. I realize people were most likely just viewing the graphic and not reading my commentary.  I am really doing this study for my own understanding and spiritual growth, but if anyone else could benefit from this study, it would bring me great joy! :) Zita



From TikTok post 11/07/2025:


I am committed to memorizing the psalms. 



Psalm 1 happens to be my favorite, in particular, verse 3.
Psalm 1 ESV
1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

I find memorization difficult. as a child, I had massive stage fright. At my piano recitals, my mind would go blank, thus leaving out entire sections of my pieces!

I am finding healing in memorizing the Psalms. I recite them throughout my day, in particular on my walks.

Each step brings me closer to God, calms my mind and is beginning to heal my childhood music trauma!
❤️


Much love, 

Zita

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...

Day 338: Unicorns in the Bible!

I am still working out the kinks in my daily routine. I am going to try practicing piano first today. I find I get so sidetracked that I don't get enough time in, and then I feel stress. I have quite a few performances coming up. Do not need stress!  So, my new daily plan will look something like this:  Wake up Pray Drink water and smoothie Piano practice Exercise Lunch Teach Read Bible and blog in between students Dinner Stretch Pray Bed My daughter and I food prepped last night. We made enough crockpot meals for our family of four for the next 2 to 3 weeks.  We put them in bags and tossed them in the freezer. We have turkey, veggie chili going on right now. Man, does the house smell good! My psalm of the day made me chuckle today. And got me curious about translations.  I read Psalm 29 in my King James Bible. Notice the appearance of the mythical unicorn in verse 6!   Psalm 29 1   Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,  ...

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!
