Isaiah contains a lot of prophecy about the Messiah and the coming new kingdom and warnings concerning Israel’s actions. I was most fascinated by the passage covering Isaiah observing before the Lord’s throne. I can’t imagine how much in awe he must of been. Isaiah freaked out; he felt that he was not worthy...
Reading Song of Solomon while married is very different than reading Song of Solomon while single. It can be difficult to understand the purpose of Song of Solomon in the Bible. It talks about sexual relations between a husband and a wife, compares a woman to a mare (definitely a good thing), references that...
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...
This section of the Psalms felt a lot easier to summarize, even though it contains Psalm 119 which is over 3 pages in my bible. Reading through the Psalms is not necessarily difficult, but it can be challenging as your brain is constantly switching back and forth between topic, authors and styles. I want...
In my head, I know that the Psalms are filled with songs, but I did not think that I would change my view on a favorite worship song from my youth group days. I always thought that the song Better is One Day talked about heaven, but it is actually speaking about how it...
I feel like the only thing I read is David asking for deliverance from his enemies and praising the Lord for the deliverance. I realize that David had his struggles and trials and they often went to war, but it seemed like a lot of repetition. Now that I am thinking about it, how...
Job has been difficult for me. I listened to parts of Job via audiobook and when I finally sat down to do my reading for the day, I had both my ESV and my NLT side by side. I normally have very little issue with comprehending what I read, but Job has kicked my...
