It’s amazing to see how quickly you can read through the Bible when you exercise some discipline. We’re covering approximately 3 chapters/day on this blog, 5 days/week, and we’re already through 2 large books in the Old Testament. If we keep this pace, we should cover the entire Bible in roughly a year. As forContinue reading “Closing Thoughts (2 Chronicles)”

2 Chronicles 34-36
Josiah, at 16, cleans house. At 26, he encounters the Word of the Lord for the first time and tears his clothes. He receives the words of the prophetess, makes a wholehearted covenant to the Lord, and sets out to obey and perform what is written in the law. Josiah leads the people in oneContinue reading “2 Chronicles 34-36”
2 Chronicles 32-33

2 Chronicles 23-25

2 Chronicles 20-22
The previous day’s reading and today’s readings startled me. Why? Because I’ve read through the Bible a few times before and never do I remember Jehoshaphat being such a good king. He was though. And here’s the proof: When he’s afraid, he seeks the Lord (20:3) He proclaims a nationwide fast to seek the LordContinue reading “2 Chronicles 20-22”
