Glen Park Gospel Church >> Bible Studies >> Favourite Readings #9
The eigth year of favourite Bible readings. The Read Through the Bible in Three Years plan is still running on this web site and can be followed on the above 3 Year Bible link. This year however, we continue with a year of the most favourite Bible passages grouped together under one or more themes each month. You will notice that the reading may be short, sometimes only a few verses, seldom more than twenty. Also you will probably read some passages more than once, but in a different context.
If you are settled into a regular pattern with your devotional time, please continue to enjoy it, but if you are not in the habit of regular Bible reading; here is your opportunity. Make a habit of selecting something from each reading to encourage and fuel your prayer time. A point of praise; encouragement to pray; a lesson to learn or an example to follow. Use the Bible passage to keep your prayer time active and interesting. Look for God to speak to you through His word and wait on Him. He is not in a hurry. Then share this blessing with someone else.
Each month we will update the tables below to include the current month's readings, until eventually another full year is portrayed. It will then always be available from our Archive of Study sections.
Favourite Psalms
Psalms deal with the problems and aspirations of the people of Israel. We also are deeply touched by these same personal emotions. Some are sheer praise, some are moody, or a prayer, or confession, or instruction; but all turn our mind to the Lord. Psalms are songs. Hebrew poetry is unlike English poetry comprising alike and/or contrasting patterns of ideas. We simply read and meditate upon them.

This month we follow Mark’s account of the Life of Jesus. He wrote for Gentiles, especially the Romans. He was Peter's travelling companion. Like Peter himself his style is full of action; terse, almost abrupt. A key word is 'immediately'. It is the gospel for today's busy world.

“Praise the LORD in song, for He has done excellent things; Let this be known throughout the earth.” Isaiah 12:5 (NASB)
Concluding Mark, this month we see Luke and Isaiah's accounts of what would be celebrated as Easter.

May is the end of Autumn, the days are quickly drawing in and becoming cooler. We take up some of the stories and morals that Jesus told. People lived closer to the earth then. To enrich your reading try to find out about the customs and culture of that bygone day. It will open the text and add to your enjoyment; then share it with someone else. Go to a Christian book shop and ask for something to help.

This month is a mix of favourite texts. There is no specific theme. It is a potpourri of ideas and topics which will encourage, instruct, urge and perhaps admonish you; but the intent is to give you joy in living the Christian life. Savour your devotions!

September's readings each contain one or more promises, a passage where God says to some one, "I will . . . " Can you locate them? Claim them against needs of your own. Keep a record of your need, your prayer, the date and the answer.

It can be refreshing to model our prayers on those found in the Bible. It saves us from getting stuck in a prayer routine rut. In them you will find covenant, rejoicing, petition, praise, supplication, worship, and just plain conversation with God. What kind of prayer is today's? What is significant about it and how does it relate to the circumstance of my own life?

Resources for Living as a Christian:
Each reading points you to one or more resources that God has provided to enable you to survive and thrive as a Christian. Reduce each reading to one or two key words that is meaningful to you and carry that idea with you through the day. Example: Day 1 could be, "Courage"

The Old Testament amazingly predicted most significant factors of the life, office, and work of God's Messiah, Jesus Christ, including His birth. This Christmas we examine some of these Old Testament predictions and the record of their fulfilment. Meditate on each attribute shown.
