June 30 / II Kings 23:1-27; II Chronicles 34:1-35:19
II Kings 23:1-27; II Chronicles 34:1-35:19 In today’s readings we have only one king, Josiah, and he is good – not a single bad word mentioned! He became king at 8 years old, he began to seek the LORD when he was 16, and he began his cleansing of Jerusalem and Judah when he was …

June 29 / II Kings 22; Zephaniah
II Kings 22; Zephaniah 1-3 I noted yesterday that Josiah was regarded as a good king. We see that today, right off the bat: And [Josiah] did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in all the way of David his father, and he did not turn aside to the right …
June 28 / II Chronicles 32-33, II Kings 21
II Chronicles 32-33; II Kings 21 Today, as in the past we have readings from Chronicles and Kings. If you are reading from The Chronological Study Bible you’ll have to move forward a few pages after II Chronicles 32 and II Kings 21 to get to II Chronicles 33. In between is material that we …

December 31 / Psalm 150
Psalm 150 The end of the Psalms. Yes, it’s a Praise psalm, the last of the five closing Hallelujah psalms, but it’s also a guide for us as to how to praise God – the what (v. 1), the why (v. 2), the how (vv. 3-5), and the who (v. 6). I don’t mean to …
December 30 / Psalm 149
Psalm 149 Yesterday’s Psalm 148 was all about praise. I didn’t see that I could add much to what the psalmist had already said. I expected today to be more of the same, since we were now at the penultimate psalm in the five closing “Hallelujah” psalms. And sure enough, the psalmist does not disappoint …
December 29 / Psalm 148
Psalm 148 Praise. Nothing more to say…
December 28 / Psalm 147:12-20
Psalm 147:12-20 Psalm 147, Day 2. He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and rules to Israel. He has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know His rules. (vv. 19-20) “He has not dealt thus with any other nation…”. When the psalmist wrote these words, he was looking only at …
December 27 / Psalm 147:1-11
Psalm 147:1-11 Psalm 147, Day 1, the second of the five closing “Hallelujah” psalms. The LORD lifts up the humble … His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor His pleasure in the legs of a man, but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who hope in …
December 26 / Psalm 146
Psalm 146 Yesterday’s Psalm 145 ended that strong set of ten psalms “of David”; today begins the Psalter closing with five “Hallelujah” psalms as we close out our own wondrous year. It took me no time to choose a verse today: … a son of man … When his breath departs, he returns to the …
