    Readings for May 24 thru May 30

    Happy Memorial Day weekend!

    Depending on what you have going on, the schedule may look a little different this week.

    Travel.
    Cookouts.
    Family stuff.
    Or maybe just a long weekend that throws your normal routine off a little.

    That’s fine.

    I usually try to get the weekly readings done somewhere around Sunday through Wednesday, or Monday through Thursday. Might not happen that way this week.

    But there are only four weekly readings again, so it shouldn’t be hard to make up.

    That’s one advantage of keeping the structure simple.

    You don’t need every day to go perfectly. You just need enough flexibility to keep going when the week gets a little sideways.

    Then you settle back in.

  • Don’t Get Discouraged, Keep Going.

    Don’t Get Discouraged, Keep Going.

    Some parts of the Bible are easier to move through than others.

    A lot of people notice that about now. When you get to the part with a bunch of genealogies, names, and lists.

    Details that can feel repetitive if you’re expecting constant action.

    That’s usually where people start negotiating with themselves.

    “Maybe I’ll skip ahead.”
    “Maybe this part isn’t important.”
    “Maybe I’ll just read the Psalms this week instead.”

    Most people don’t quit things during the exciting parts. They quit during the ordinary parts. The repetitive parts. The sections that don’t immediately reward them.

    That applies to more than Bible reading.

    The habit matters more than whether this week feels especially interesting to you.

    Remember that everything in the Bible is there for a reason.

    So read Chronicles. Then read the next thing after Chronicles too.

    That’s how you get through books. That’s also how you get through most worthwhile things.

  • It’s That Time Again (get out your Bibles)

    It’s That Time Again (get out your Bibles)

    This week has one of those little turns in it.

    You start in Kings and end up in Chronicles.

    That sounds more dramatic than it is.

    It’s still the same job. Read what’s there. Don’t overreact to the fact that one day is a little longer than another or that one section feels easier to move through than the next. The plan doesn’t require your mood to cooperate.

    That’s one reason I like a set structure.

    It keeps you from negotiating with yourself too much.

    You don’t wake up and decide whether this feels like the right chapter or whether you’re in the right headspace for it. You just take the next reading and move on with your day.

    That solves more problems than people think.

    Read the next thing.

    That’s enough.
