PSALMS lesson 2

What daily task have you had to learn but is now second nature? One of the first tasks that pops into our minds may be driving. There was a time that, although we knew that the possibility of driving existed, we did not know all the intricacies of what it would take, nor how long it would take before we would feel comfortable and proficient in our own driving skills.

This is perhaps the best way to approach reading the Psalms. We may think we know how to read them, but when it comes down to it we recognize that there are a lot of things we don’t know about Hebrew poetry and its interpretation. This means we will have to spend some time practicing– reading and recognizing what the Psalmists are doing in order to really be proficient. Responding to Torah doesn’t come naturally to us–yet. But we will get there! And in today’s lesson, David will give us a great example of how to practice responding to Torah.
