🌙 Psalms 10

Psalms 10 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.” Psalms 10 opens with these words: “Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?” The line to keep is Psalms 10:11: “He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”” Carry the word “heart” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Psalms 10:11: “He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Psalms 10? Then try this: Read “He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
