1 Chronicles 5:25

The Battle Is the Lord’s. There is a spiritual battle going on between God and Satan (see the reading plan “The Great Battle”). There are also a lot of wars and battles going on between humans. And sometimes there is a clear connection between the two. This reading plan covers several Bible stories about earthly battles where the Lord was clearly involved.

September – No complicated content, just a monthly chronological journey through the Bible. The Bible isn’t arranged in the order events happened; it’s usually organized by genre. September follows God’s people through exile, restoration, and renewal before arriving at the long-awaited coming of Jesus. You’ll journey through Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and the prophets, watching God remain faithful to His promises through every season. The month concludes with the opening chapters of the Gospels, where centuries of anticipation give way to the arrival of Christ and the beginning of the New Testament story.

Written following their return from exile, Chronicles is a theological retelling of Israel's monarchial history. In this post-exilic season, doubt and apathy plagued God's people and their trust in His promises. The Chronicler responds by reminding Israel of God's faithfulness from Adam to Moses to David and ultimately points toward a Greater David to come.
