Hosea 9 - 11 

The Lord continues to call with love even while, or maybe after, meting out punishment for idolatry.

The reading for Tuesday, February 7, 2023 , is Numbers 7 - 9

Numbers 7 - 9   Although I find the listing of what each tribe brought to the tabernacle dry reading, I do note that each tribe brought exactly the same thing. It's fair. I am also curious about how they decided which tribe presented on which day. It's not by age and it doesn't say.  I am also struck by a celebration lasting 12 days. What celebration in our culture lasts 12 days? None that I can think of. The longest thing I can think of in our culture is the county fair which lasts for a week.  I continue to remind myself that all of these offerings speak to the holiness of God and a greater understanding, albeit it a nanoparticle, of the import of Jesus' death on the cross.

The reading for Saturday, February 25, 2023 , is Deuteronomy 29 - 31

Deuteronomy 29 - 31   I didn't realize there were 2 covenants. One made in Moab and one at Horeb. I find this confusing. What are the differences between them, if any?  For most today's readying I am struck by the repeated instruction to love to Lord with all our hearts, minds, etc. I am also struck by the lack of the repetition of: Love thy neighbor as thyself. When I google where this is found in the Old Testament, I get one reference in Leviticus.  In today's reading, the Lord knows that the Israelites will turn away from him. I am curious to see what the song Moses is going to teach them will say.

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...
