SoS 6-8 “I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me” (SOS 7:10). Still trying to look at this book of love poetry through the lens of my relationship with God, and this is ...
Day 174 – SoS 4-5; Acts 7:1-21Day 174 – SoS 4-5; Acts 7:1-21
SoS 4-5 Sigh…this love poetry still is not really resonating with me. I can see that the two lovers are highly praising of and devoted to one another and I can see that the bride ...
Day 173 – SoS 1-3; Acts 6Day 173 – SoS 1-3; Acts 6
SoS 1-3 Now here is a book that I truly do not understand!! What does this book have to do with anything??? And so I sought some help. I would strongly encourage you to look ...
Day 155 – Ps 68, 72, 96; John 14Day 155 – Ps 68, 72, 96; John 14
Ps. 68 “Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation” (Ps 68:19). Did you catch that? Daily! God is there, with us and for us, every.single.day. Ps. 72 It appears ...
Day 154 – Ps 61-62, 65; John 13:21-38Day 154 – Ps 61-62, 65; John 13:21-38
Ps. 61-62 I continue to read David’s words as if they were the words of our Christ. What stands out to me in Psalm 61 is verse 5b, “You have given me the inheritance of ...
Day 145 – Ps 15-16; John 9:1-23Day 145 – Ps 15-16; John 9:1-23
Ps. 15-16 David is one of several representations of Christ in the Bible story. He is also in the direct line of Christ. This adds interest to the fact that so many of David’s words ...
Day 120 – 1 Sam 19; Ps 23,59; Luke 21:1-19Day 120 – 1 Sam 19; Ps 23,59; Luke 21:1-19
1 Sam. 19 How many of us, in David’s position, would have maintained the respect that David had for Saul as God’s anointed? Technically, God had already rejected Saul and anointed David in his place. ...
Day 107 – Judges 9-10; Luke 14:1-24Day 107 – Judges 9-10; Luke 14:1-24
Judges 9-10 At the end of chapter 10, God had become weary of saving Israel, only to have them turn away from Him again and again, so when they pleaded for His help this time ...
Day 100 – Josh 13-15; Luke 10:25-42Day 100 – Josh 13-15; Luke 10:25-42
Josh. 13-15 How fitting that Jerusalem (God’s chosen city) was in Judah’s territory, as it is Judah through whom God chose to extend His line to Christ. And interesting to me that the people of ...
Day 70 – Num 3-4; Mark 12:28-44Day 70 – Num 3-4; Mark 12:28-44
Num. 3-4 I have noted before that I believe the Israelites are a representation of all of God’s people – of us. Well, it seems to me that the Levites are to the Israelites as ...
Day 47 – Ex 23-24; Matt 28Day 47 – Ex 23-24; Matt 28
Ex. 23-24 Now the part of the law given in the first several verses of Exodus 23 I can understand! And it struck me as I was reading the first two verses, “You shall not ...
Day 38 Ex 1-3; Matt 24:1-28Day 38 Ex 1-3; Matt 24:1-28
Ex. 1-3 One thing that stands out to me in these chapters is the courage of the Hebrew midwives. Technically, they lied to Pharaoh, but it says that “God dealt well” with them because of ...
Day 35 – Gen 43-45; Matt 22:23-46Day 35 – Gen 43-45; Matt 22:23-46
Gen. 43-45 I don’t know how Joseph kept the truth from his brothers for so long. Simeon must have been with him in custody for at least 6 months to a year. It seems he ...
Day 23 – Job 36-37; Matt 15:1-20Day 23 – Job 36-37; Matt 15:1-20
Job 36-37 The problem I have with the views of Job’s friends is that they are judging people based on their circumstances. If bad things are happening to you, you are being judged by God, ...
Day 15 – Job 17-19; Matt 10:21-42Day 15 – Job 17-19; Matt 10:21-42
Job 17-19 Job’s friends continue to attack him based on what they believe to be true – that Job would not be suffering if he was innocent. But Job, though he insists that God is ...
Day 14 – Job 14-16; Matt 10:1-20Day 14 – Job 14-16; Matt 10:1-20
Job 14-16 Every now and then, I just don’t have much to say. Job is one big series of long, repetitive rants, and today’s reading is no exception – more accusations of Job’s unrighteousness, but ...
Day 11 – Job 5-7; Matt 8:18-34Day 11 – Job 5-7; Matt 8:18-34
Job 5-7 I am beginning to think that the purpose for the book of Job is so that we will not speak to our friends who are suffering in the way that Job’s friends spoke ...
Day 9 – Job 1-2; Matt 7Day 9 – Job 1-2; Matt 7
Job 1-2 Evidently, we are moving through the Bible chronologically, because we have jumped to Job (which they believe was written sometime during this period in Genesis). And yeah, wow – in one single hour, ...
