The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a Yearنموونە
Week 29. Day 2. Psalms 78-83.
Ps 78 tells the history of Israel, with a focus on the people’s sin, and God’s faithfulness. This is to reassure those facing exile that this is not due to God’s lack of love, or lack of power.
Ps 79 and 80 very much have the destruction of Jerusalem and the exile in view, and Ps 81 reminds the people again that the exile is due to sin, not to God being powerless.
Psalm 83 is interesting. It speaks of:
- v1-8 The nations desiring to destroy Israel
- v9-18 prayer for God to judge these nations
Notice v16! The purpose of the judgment is so that the enemies might turn to God and be saved!
NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.
About this Plan
The Bible OverBrew is a friendly virtual book group, helping you read the Bible in big chunks, preferably with a mug of tea! Maybe you've tried to read through the Bible before, but gave up when it felt confusing or too intense? We are here to help you! We provide notes and questions to guide your reading, and note ‘key chapters’ if you don’t have time to read it all. In our podcast at the end of each week we draw out the key themes, and how it all points to Christ. We’d love you to join us!
