Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

January 2

Genesis 4-7
Seven chapters to cover the first making of mankind, God's people; a period of, at least, a thousand years.  The rest of the Old Testament, plus the four gospels of the New Testament, to cover God's chosen race, Israel; a period of about three thousand years.  The rest of the New Testament to cover the redemption of the nations through the Creator of heaven and earth; a period of about seventy years.  Can we concede that God's sense of timing is radically different from ours?  Can we further admit that the whole story has not been revealed or written?  Finally, can we accept that the Author and Finisher of our faith controls the times and revelation of our story?  Praise God for His omniscient power, existence, and plan for mankind!
