THE BIBLE DIARY

Job 28:1-30:31

2 Corinthians 2:12-17

Psalm 42:1-11

Proverbs 22:7

My friend and I talked today about how often we lose sight of God. We forget He's working. We forget to trust Him. We expect Him to be doing this when He's doing that and that is the thing we needed the most...

Job 4:1-7:21

1 Corinthians 14:18-40

Psalm 37:30-40

Proverbs 21:27

What I love about this passage of 1 Corinthians is how different the actual structure of a church gathering looks from our modern day American idea of a church gathering. In America we have a pastor and a wo...

Job 1:1-3:26

1 Corinthians 14:1-17

Psalm 37:12-29

Proverbs 21:25-26

"Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away, may the name of the Lord be praised." Job 1:21

Esther 1:1-3:15

1 Corinthians 11:17-34

Psalm 35:17-28

Proverbs 21:19-20

Esther is a conflicting book for me. While at some parts of my life it has meant a great deal to me, I have also heard some confusing and challenging interpretations of the book. I am inclined to belie...

Nehemiah 9:22-10:39

1 Corinthians 9:19-10:13

Psalm 34:1-10

Proverbs 21:13

Running is the worst, I don't run. I relate to Ann Perkins on the show "Parks and Recreation." She says, "jogging is the worst, I know it keeps you healthy, but God at what cost!?" 

Amen, sister frien...

Nehemiah 5:14-7:73a

1 Corinthians 8:1-13

Psalm 33:1-11

Proverbs 21:8-10

Life is full of really crappy stuff. It's daily, it's heartbreaking, it's exhausting, it's scary, it's awful. It's awful! When you have it good it could all fall apart. When you don't have it good it c...

Ezra 4:24-6:22

1 Corinthians 3:5-23

Psalm 29:1-11

Proverbs 20:26-27

We had people over at our house today so I didn't even think to read my Bible. But when I remembered I decided it was too late, I was tired and I needed to work tomorrow. But then I realized that I didn't...

Hooray for the end of the Chronicles books! Hooray for the end of exile! (or at least we're getting there)

Forget for a second that what I'm about to say is very dramatic and definitely taking stuff out of context...but I feel this "leaving exile" portion of the Scriptu...

What a challenge Paul puts before us to only think of others, never of ourselves. 

I recently heard someone talk about how Christians want to be caring for the needy and they don't realize that the needy are actually taking advantage of us. I don't know how trustworthy...

As of late my way of decompressing after work is to eat take-out on my bed and binge watch "Jane the Virgin."

But yesterday I caught up on the reading. I had tacos, I read some of my C.S. Lewis book, I watercolored, I took a bath, ate an apple and went to bed early. I f...
