Reading the Bible Through

Isaiah 5 - 7   The first part of this reminds me of the Song of Solomon until he says what he will do with the vineyard.  7:16, Before the boy knows how to  refuse the evil and choose the good. What does that mean? How do I always know which is which? How do I do it consistently? Paul says that he does the very things that he doesn't want to do. 

Isaiah 2 - 4   I find the prophets difficult reading. However, I do look forward to the day when we will not learn war anymore. In the meantime, we must not be pulled aside by the treasures of this earth, but keep our eyes on Jesus. 

  Song of Solomon 7 – 8 & Isaiah 1 I find the prophets difficult to read, but here, as we begin Isaiah, the people of Israel, and us by extension, are called to do right, not engage in ritual for it's own sake. 

  Song of Solomon 4-6

Song of Solomon 1 - 3   Song of Solomon audio dramatization I find the Song of Solomon or Song of Songs a beautiful piece of literature celebrating the sexual nature of humankind. 

Ecclesiastes 8 – 12  

Ecclesiastes 5 - 7   6 days behind. Better late than never.  Vanity of vanities. It is like chasing after the wind.
