2 Kings 19:1

Throughout Jesus’ life, He retreated to quiet places to pray and spend time with God. In a busy world, it’s essential to set aside time to seek the Lord, clear your mind, and focus on what truly matters. In this 3-day devotional, we will explore how God uses your time alone to renew your soul and serve Him.

What began as a victorious return to the land in Joshua ends in destruction, defeat, and exile in 2 Kings. The idolatry and sinfulness of Israel and Judah lead to their expulsion from the land - a final ignominy in a long history of unfaithfulness. Yet even in exile, God was preserving his people and the line of David for a future coming King, whose reign would know no end.

This is the thirteenth installment of a Bible reading plan following the lectionary pattern, offering daily readings from the Psalms, Old Testament, and New Testament. Each day includes a devotional primer to help prepare your heart and mind for a deeper, more meaningful encounter with Scripture.

July – 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. July moves from the Psalms and Proverbs into the messages of Isaiah, Micah, and Jeremiah during a critical season in Israel’s history. You’ll encounter songs of worship, promises of hope, calls to repentance, and warnings of coming judgment as God speaks through His prophets to a nation drifting from Him. This month highlights God’s holiness, justice, mercy, and faithfulness as His plan of redemption continues to unfold.
