Providential!

In my 1611 edition, not only does it have a plan for reading Psalms and Proverbs once a month; but it also has a whole calendar for chapters you can read for you morning and evening lessons. I think two days ago, I decided to look up the lesson for the day, and read it. It was going through Nahum, Matthew, Romans. Nahum reminded me that God knows full well how to deal with wickedness (which was good to know, again, seeing I was dealing with (RICH!)-TWENTY-YEAR-OLD-IN-THIS-DAY-AND-AGE profanity at work; which is somehow even worse than was already goes on there (and that does say a lot!) I also read Habakkuk 2 and 3 - very good reads. But, today, it had me starting in on I Corinthians. The thing is, I had read in the New Testament up to the end of Romans and sort of "stalled". Therefore, this Bible reading calendar has served at a very helpful "jumpstart" right there! Also, in Zephaniah 1 today, I realized that that was written in the days of Josiah; something I cannot say I knew off the top of my head. The thing is: Josiah was actually, really, the best king Judah ever had! I was, therefore, thinking: "I wonder if Zephaniah's prophecy was against those who were "waiting in the wings" to drag things back down as soon as Josiah was gone (which, sadly, did happen after he was gone).


I must say, I feel like I put my heart on the line with my last mailing, and really do pray it will be a blessing!


Sincerely,


Daniel
