Friends, Time to RESET

Today we read Psalm 50.

Since Easter Monday, we’ve read one psalm a day, and now we’re 1/3 of the way through. (There are 150 psalms, and we’re scheduled to finish on September 9.)

Whether you’ve read every psalm so far or none of them:

It’s time to reset and restart.


I strongly believe that the most important thing you can do in your life is to develop the habit of spending the first 15 minutes of every day in silence, prayer, and scripture.

With our Psalms reading plan, this cannot be any easier:

  • Read one psalm every day.

  • Some days you’ll get a lot out of it, some days you won’t.

  • Guess what—it doesn’t matter.

  • Just read your psalm, pray a bit, and then sit in silence. That’s it.

The power of the First 15 is not about any particular day, but the culmination of many days.

Out of the last 7 days, how many have you begun in this way?

It’s time to reset.


Consistency is more important than intensity.


It’s the habit that matters more than anything.

Don’t overthink it.

Remember: consistency is more important than intensity.

As Michael Scott would say, “JUST DO IT.”


Let’s claim the promise in v. 23:

 “to one who orders his way rightly
    I will show the salvation of God!”

Order your life; commit your first few minutes of every day to the First 15.

Great things will happen!
