Jeremiah is called by the Lord to serve as a warning to Judah and Israel to run back to God. The Lord tells him to have no fear even though he is young. Over and over he warns Judah and Israel to turn back to God. Otherwise, there will be disaster and destruction from the...
This last section of Isaiah covers a lot of the prophecy concerning Christ, the new kingdom, as well as the day of judgement. While sometimes the prophecy was difficult to track, I do know that the Lord loves those who love Him and follow His ways. Even foreigners will be given room in His...
I noticed a lot of God’s character on display in Isaiah 36-49. It is comforting to know that God is with us always, since before the beginning of creation and will continue for eternity. It boggles my mind. He is a source of comfort in all situations. We may not know or understand His...
I am struggling with Isaiah, going back and forth, between prophecies that will happen soon to prophecies that will not happen until the new millennial kingdom occurs and that is okay. I feel like I am listening to a story told by a 5 year that does not have the concept of linear time...
Isaiah contains a lot of prophecy about the Messiah and the coming new kingdom and warnings concerning Israel’s actions.

Ecclesiastes continues the journey through wisdom and poetry books in the Bible. King Solomon writes about how everything is fleeting and yet we are to enjoy what we have been given even though it provides no satisfaction. It seems contradictory at first, but is a reminder that we need God. Life contains no guarantees,...
More so than the first half of Proverbs, I felt convicted about my actions. Am I living up to the statutes of wisdom that Proverbs is sharing with us? I need to think through my actions, are they a great representation of God, or do I need to make some adjustments? As a mom,...
HALFWAY THERE! I feel like I am beginning to turn a corner in this project. I can’t believe how much I have learned and noticed things that I have not seen before. Proverbs is full of wisdom. It tells us that the beginning of wisdom is to fear God, to know Him. It is...
I made it through the book of Psalm! According to my Bible, I am 50% of the way through page-wise. Oh happy dance! After 5 days of reading through Psalm, I am itching for some stories. To be honest, reading through the Psalm so quickly, I am not sure I really grasped all of...
