1 Chronicles 3 – 4
Monday
Well, back to the names again. So as I was reading this passage I noticed the prayer of Jabez was included in our reading today. Do you remember the big push a few years ago by Bruce Wilkinson (I just looked it up it was published 16 years ago – wow, time flies.)

Psalms, 43 – 45, 49, 84-85, 87
Sunday
Remember how I had mentioned earlier that psalms touch the heart of our emotions and are used for remembering all the wonderful things that God has done for us? Well, in our reading today we have another type of psalm. Psalm 45 – can you guess what is different about it?

1 Chronicles 1 – 2

Genealogies, really… I have such a hard time reading those names. Do you? So here’s a little trick I started doing with my husband Brad.

Psalms 6, 8-10, 14, 16, 19, 21
Friday
Well, we have quite a number of Psalms to read today. Do you ever feel like you get bogged down some reading the Psalms? If you are not a great fan of poetry, sometimes they can be hard to read, they don’t flow like a story does. So, I thought it might be quite useful to do something different with my blog today.

2 Samuel 1 – 4
Thursday
So with the death of Saul, it would seem like the rise of David as king over all of Israel should be the next logical step. But it isn’t, David is only recognized as the King of Judah. Much has to happen before the two kingdoms are united.

Psalms 121, 123-125, 128-130
Wednesday
Under the number of the psalm there is a subtitle that says “A Song of Ascents”. These psalms were songs that Jewish pilgrims would have song on the road as they made their way to Jerusalem for one of three annual festivals.

Psalms 18, 1Samuel 28-31
Tuesday
This is rather an odd passage of scripture. I’m pretty sure that Saul has headed down the wrong path. Isn’t it sad what desperate people will do?

Psalms 17, 35, 54, 63
Monday
Have you ever been angry or complained about something and then thought, “Well that’s not very Christian, I shouldn’t think those things”? Isn’t it curious that David is doing just that?

1 Samuel 25 – 27
Sunday
So I feel like today is… “and now back to our story”. Well, it is, (stop laughing you know what I mean) we had a little side hop to read some very awesome Psalms, which we will be doing as we move through Samuel and Chronicles. So David is met with some rude hospitality. I wonder how this will play out for Nabal?

Psalms 56, 120, 140-142
Saturday
As I have been reading these psalms, it has helped me to have just read the story (situation) in which they were written. Have you been able to make that connection? For example:
