Day 179 – Day off

Readings

  • None… unless you need to catch up!

Prayer

A day off from reading is not a day off from praying or living as a Christian. Pray for something that’s on your heart today.

Day 179 – Day Off

 

 

Have you ever had a really long tiring journey, when you’ve been in a car for hours and hours and you feel sore and bored, or when you’ve trekked up a mountain that never seems to end?

 

You may be finding the readings in a rather similar way. They may feel like a bit of a slog, and you see a sign that says there is still 300 miles to go and there’s a long way to go before the home straight.

 

That won’t be helped by the fact that we’re in the middle of a period in the bible that you just won’t know so well. You may know a little of Elijah and Elisha, but this may be the first time you’ve encountered all these kings, or looked at the history of the spilt of the land into Israel and Judah. Lots and lots of history!

 

But, even though it’s tricky, at the same time I hope you’re finding it fascinating. I am! Learning about all these kings, good and bad, is really interesting I think!

 

Keep reading carefully and studying my notes. Make sure you’re still dedicating 20-30 minutes each day to your readings, prayer time and note making. If you find the you’re getting to the stage where you’re skim reading the passages and only vaguely looking over my notes, stop! Do it properly!

 

And some encouragement for you: by the time you’ve finished the study on Wednesday, you’ll be half way through the entire reading plan. Brilliant work, and well done!
