Bible in 90 Days: Day 39 Check-In

Posted in Christian Life

90 Day Bible Reading Challenge

Munchkin is still ahead of schedule, and I am on target for my reading.  Some days are easier than others to get the reading done.  Some passages are more difficult to than others to read.

I have always enjoyed both the story of Ester and the story of Job. 

Ester is an example of how listening to our elders and making the best of our situation can have a huge, positive impact on our lives and those around us.

Job is an excellent example to us of blessing the Lord, praising the Lord no matter what circumstances we are currently dealing with in our lives.  Job’s wife is an excellent example of how we, as wives, shouldn’t act.  She tried to tear down her husband instead of lifting him up and helping him through the difficult time.  Even though Job had lost everything and had no earthly support, he knew that he could trust on the Lord…

Look, I go forward, but He is not there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold Him;
When He turns to the right hand, I cannot see Him.
But He knows the way that I take;
When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.
My foot has held fast to His steps;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
I have not departed from the commandment of His lips;
I have treasured the words of His mouth
More than necessary food.
~ Job 23:8-12 ~

We may not always feel the Lord’s presence with us, but He is there ~ watching us, guiding us, loving us.

How are you doing with your Bible reading so far this year?  Whether you’re participating in this challenge or not, are you at least spending some time with the Lord daily?  Please continue to pray for those who are striving to read their Bible daily this year.  To see how others are doing with the 90 Day Bible Challenge, head over to Mom’s Toolbox and Raising Olives.

    I'm thinking that this week with Psalms/Proverbs will be much easier reading than some we've done in the past few weeks ~ might even be able to get ahead a bit! 🙂 Loving this!!

    Job is my favourite book of the Old Testament – his faith is absolutely awe inspiring. 😀

    Have a wonderful week,
    Blessings,

    I have been considering doing the "read the Bible in 90 days" thing. I have been making an effort to read my Bible every day (though I haven't made it every single day, I have done pretty well), but I'm not as consistent as I should be. It seems that everywhere I look I'm seeing someone's post about it, though, so maybe the Lord is telling me I need to do this.

    Also, thanks for following my blog. 🙂 I just signed up to follow yours too!
