Reading the Bible Through in 1 year

Planning to try to do this again in 2025.  Hoping to add to previous posts and to stay on the schedule better.  The schedule, in general, is to read 3 Bible chapters 6 days per week and 5 Bible chapters on the 7th day of the week.  May the reading of the Word bless you.  Previous post: I have long wanted to create an online space in which people could discuss Bible passages. To that end, this blog will show what chapters to read/listen to each day to finish reading the Bible through in a little less than 1 year. We will read 3 chapters every day except on Sundays. On Sundays we will read 5 chapters. If I calculated correctly, this reading plan will finish on Christmas day 2023.  Feel free to comment, reflect and/ or to agree, disagree and, perhaps most importantly, to agree to disagree and move forward together.   This is a place for civil and respectful discussion/reflection. Some scriptures to consider: Titus 3:9  But avoid  foolish controversie...

The reading for Wednesday, January 25, 2023 , is Exodus 31 - 33

Exodus 31 - 33   Aaron seems awful quick to agree to make an idol, the golden calf, in this passage it seems to me. Still, I, too, can be far to quick to put something else in front of the Lord. My human pride of doing it myself for instance. It also reminds me today of clergy who have lost their faith but continue as clergy because they have no other training/trade to pursue.  God is about to destroy the Israelites for worshiping the golden calf, when Moses talks God out of it. This speaks to me of the power of talking to God.  Joshua hears the sound of war, but Moses says it's the sound of singing. That singing must have been pretty bad, lol.  Moses is so angry that he throws the tablets engraved by God and they break! It seems disrespectful to me.  Aaron now tells Moses that the golden calf just popped out of the fire, but earlier it clearly says that Aaron shaped it. The story changed. The Levites go and kill 3000 of their own families. Sounds like a massacr...

The reading for Sunday, March 26, 2023 , is 2 Samuel 10 - 14

2 Samuel 10 - 14   10:5 How were David's men able to stay at Jericho? It had been destroyed by Joshua.  David doesn't go out to battle when kings do so. He sees Bathsheba bathing which lead to David getting her pregnant. David then tries, twice, to get Bathsheba's husband, Uriah,  to have sex with her so that David's philandering wouldn't be found out. (How often we try to wiggle our way out of things!)When this doesn't work, David sends Uriah back to the front with a note to Joab that says to be sure to get Uriah killed. Why does Joab do it? Yet, David is a man after God's own heart.  Tamar tries to talk Ammon out of raping her by telling him to ask their father's permission to marry each other. I really think back in maybe Leviticus or Numbers, somewhere that we have already read, it said that a man should not marry his sister or his half-sister. Why would David have permitted this? Was Tamar just trying to get away perhaps? Ammon's friend didn...
