Epic (Part 1): The Storyline of the BibleSample
It has been a year since the Israelites left Egypt. If you remember back to Exodus 11 and 12, the people of Israel had been spared the death of their firstborns by putting blood on the frames of their doors. That was how death passed over their household. We are also told of how God led the people using a cloud representing God’s glory.
You might be envious of Israel being led by God in such an obvious way. To know exactly when to move forward and when to stop would be a privilege for anyone who desires to do what God’s wants. It’s easy to get the idea that what God wants us to do is a big mystery only the smartest can figure out. However, Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us that if we trust God, He will direct us. Probably not with a cloud but we can be sure He will keep us on the right path if we trust Him enough to follow.

About this Plan
This is part one of a four-part plan to read the books of the Bible that tell of the historical events. Although the Bible contains many stories, it is one epic story of God’s interactions with humanity. One day per week can be used to catch up on missed readings or for reflection. Notes are also included to assist with understanding.
