Week Eight

HERE'S HOW:

1. Grab a Bible. If it fits your style, also grab a journal to write in.

   • Which Bible version is best? The one you read! If you don’t have one, let us know! Print, Online, and Apps are available.

   • Invite family or friends to join you.

2. Pray! Ask the Holy Spirit to help you as you read. HE WILL.

3. Check to see if there is a video to watch today

4. Look up and read the assigned reading for the day.

5. Look up the assigned Psalm that day: pray it out loud.

6. Pray! Ask the Father to apply those readings to your life and to help you join Jesus where He is already working. HE WILL.

7. Participate in Worship on Sunday!

February 18

Read Numbers 28-30, then Pray Psalm 49.

February 19

Read Numbers 31-32, then Pray Psalm 50. Numbers 32:12-15 are sobering words! But Yahweh still eventually gives these “stiff-necked” people the land. Praise be to His name! Are we ever “stiff-necked” before Him?

February 20

Read Numbers 33-34, then Pray Psalm 51. Again, skim those lists. Then zoom in on Numbers 33:50-56. Many people claim God is not just in giving the Land to the Israelites. But whose land is it? (For that matter, who owns every land?) Besides, 33:56 came true many years later, in epic and tragic fashion. See Romans 11.

February 21

Read Numbers 35-36, then Pray Psalm 52. As you conclude the book of Numbers, the story of the wilderness (or desert), read 1 Corinthians 10:1-13.  

February 22

The Book of Deuteronomy explained with illustrations Want to see more? Our Website: http://www.jointhebibleproject.com Say hello or follow us here: Twitter: http://twitter.com/joinbibleproj Facebook: http://fb.com/jointhebibleproject This video explores the main ideas and flow of thought of Deuteronomy. The Bible Project is a non-profit creating animated videos that explain the narrative of the Bible.

Read Deuteronomy 1-3, then Pray Psalm 53. The title of this book in Hebrew is “Words”. The word “Deuteronomy” is Greek for “Second Law”, indicating a summarizing or second telling of what has come before.

February 23

This video is the first installment of our Word Studies series, a six-part exploration of the ancient biblical prayer called "The Shema". We will explore all of the keywords in this prayer and what they meant in their original language and historical context.

Read Deuteronomy 4-6, then Pray Psalm 54. Zoom in on Deuteronomy 4:32-40. These powerful words invite the reader to participate with the Israelites and to “take heart this day that the Lord [Yahweh] is God in heaven above and on earth below. There is no other!” Take these words and visit John 1:18.

Also, consider jotting down Deuteronomy 6:4 somewhere to keep handy…in light of the revelation of Jesus born in Bethlehem. Ponder His mystery, His majesty, and sheer divinity as you pray these words back to Him often.

February 24

Let's talk about love, Old Testament style! In this video, we'll explore the various ways the Hebrew authors used the word "love," and how they depicted God as the ultimate source and goal of all human love. This video is the third installment of our Word Studies series, a six-part exploration of the ancient biblical prayer called "The Shema."

Read Deuteronomy 7-9, then Pray Psalm 55. That “deutero” part of Deuteronomy (deutero = second) rears its head a bunch in this section. Skim as needed. But read chapter 8 deeply. There is a reason God feels the need to say everything again. (Parents understand this well…)
