Break out the Barry Manilow because “It looks like we made it!” Alright, maybe it’s not that big of an accomplishment because I just started at Jeremiah and have reached the New Testament. There is a lot to read yet, but I believe it is a milestone because these were difficult books with the fall of Israel, Judah and Jerusalem. Not the most uplifting stuff and probably some of the most difficult to read, as I can ascertain. There is still plenty in the Old Testament to get back to including the Creation of the world, Psalms and Proverbs. I am happy to have reached this peak and I am looking forward to many more.

Previously in the Daily Read, Malachi is pretty cut and dry in his prophecies from the Lord. Stay faithful to your wife because he made you one and give your best to the Lord. I think that pretty much sums it up and I love it. Good stuff to finish this read off with.

Now on to the New Testament! The joy of the birth and life of Jesus Christ! Read on…

Having fallen behind, I am getting closer to the New Testament. I hope to get a few reads into today, work permitting. I would like to say that it is nice to have Randy back commenting. He has some really great insights, so if you are just reading the posts, click on the comment links to see what Randel has to say. As I have been blazing through reads to catch up, he has a much more insightful look and better life applications into the reads than I have, I believe. Thanks Randy for this. So…

Previously in the Daily Read, Zechariah continues to let the people of Jerusalem, Judah and Israel know that they are back in God’s favor and he is going to stop at nothing to make Jerusalem his home, literally. He will roam the land in the body of the Messiah. How exciting this is. Just as we can cleanse ourselves of our sins through Jesus, this is the handbook for the people of the Holy Land to be to become one with God, before he delivers His Son into the world. This must have been a pretty awesome time where the Lord, who had delivered these people to the lowest valley, is now promising to lift them up to the highest peak! We all have the opportunity to do this, but this is how it all got started and it is exciting to read about.

For I am planting seeds of peace and prosperity among you. The grapevines will be heavy with fruit. The earth will produce its crops, and the sky will release the dew. Once more I will make the remnant in Judah and Israel the heirs of these blessings. Zechariah 8:12

One more read and it is on to the New Testament. Good stuff. Read on…
