Journaling through the Bible in 90 days: Week 7

Happy Sunday, dear readers and Happy Week 7!

I love that, as we transitioned in to the season of Lent, we got to begin reading in the Psalms. I hope you enjoyed that transition, too.

(Reading Job is always tough for me, so I am so thankful that the Psalms follow it!)

I hope that the reading is helping you hear, see and seek God even when you are not reading. I have started to add an additional journaling/ listening time to my day where I present my requests, needs and questions to the Holy Spirit in writing and then try to listen and journal what I may be hearing. It’s been fruitful.

Whatever you are doing surrounding your reading, I pray that it is fruitful, as well.

Here are a few questions to get your mind and heart going as you wrap up last week and move into this coming week’s reading.

Journaling through the Bible in 90 days: Week 7 Reflection Questions

• About Esther: Since the word “God” never appears in this book, why do you think Esther is included in the scriptures?
• What else struck you about the book of Esther?
• Job is often associated with suffering. Can you make a case for it being about faith? How?
• How does God answer Job’s questions? What can we take from that?
• Was reading the Psalms easier or more difficult than you expected it to be?
• What are some of your favorite Psalms after reading this week?
• Take a step back and look at your progress in reading. How does it feel now that we are nearly half-way there? Is it getting easier or harder to read?
