I am reading (at my own pace) through the Scriptures in chronological order. Reading in this manner has had a significant impact on how I understand the flow and rhythm of the biblical narrative. It has also put me at the mercy of whatever is next in the text. For the most part, I don’t allow myself the option of going to a passage that God has used in my life before. This practice has led me to parts of the Scriptures that I hardly give attention to. The cool thing is that God is speaking to me through passages that I haven’t noticed in the past. I’m seeing things about who He is and who I am in ways that I never have before. I came across these two sentences this morning.
Plant the good seeds of righteousness, and you will harvest a crop of love.
Plow up the hard ground of your hearts, for now is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and shower righteousness upon you.
Hosea 10:12
