RARE: October’s Recommended Reading Schedule
Posted by Sandy in Reading through the Bible in a Year, tags: Colossians, Philippians, Resting at the River's EdgeHome Stretch!
If you have been reading along with us using the Resting at the River’s Edge reading plans, don’t give up now — you are in the home stretch.
October 1 marks the beginning of the last three months of the year.
The big books we have left are Ezekiel, Isaiah, Daniel, Proverbs, Luke and Revelation. Of course there are many smaller books thrown in to keep it interesting.
In October we’ll read Ezekiel and a little more than half of the Proverbs. We’ll also read Song of Solomon or Song of Songs, Philippians and
Colossians.
We’ve been reading Jeremiah. He prophecied mostly before the Babylonian captivity — that is, when the Israelites were taken into captivity by the Babylonians and forced to leave their home in Jerusalem and move to Babylon. Ezekiel prophecies during the Babylonian captivity. You’ll find a number of familiar passages and have the opportunity to read them in the context in which they were written. For example, pastor recently preached from the passage in Ezekiel 36, the Valley of Dry Bones.
The purpose for the Proverbs is provided in the first one:
1These are the proverbs of Solomon, David’s son, king of Israel.
2The purpose of these proverbs is to teach people wisdom and discipline, and to help them understand wise sayings. 3Through these proverbs, people will receive instruction in discipline, good conduct, and doing what is right, just, and fair. 4These proverbs will make the simpleminded clever. They will give knowledge and purpose to young people.
5Let those who are wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser. And let those who understand receive guidance 6by exploring the depth of meaning in these proverbs, parables, wise sayings, and riddles.
(Proverbs 1:1-6, NLT)
Let’s explore the dept of the meaning in the proverbs, not just read them to stay on schedule!
Don’t give up now, friends! We can see the finish line.
Don’t be discouraged if you haven’t kept up. Life happens! Keep plugging away. God is honored by your faithfulness and you will be blessed by continuing to read through the Scriptures.
Be blessed, all!
