Monday:
Ezra 1-10 The Return from Exile
Have fun, read the whole book of Ezra today. The return from exile is a big piece of the story puzzle.
Tuesday:
Nehemiah 8 Reading & Celebrating the Law
This passage is a continuation of the Ezra story.
Wednesday:
Ecclesiastes 3 A Season For Everything
Enjoy this familiar passage. Sing the tune!
Thursday:
Proverbs 8-13 Collected Wisdom
Ever wonder what wisdom would look like? Here is a good start. Note that the Hebrew word for wisdom, “Sophia,” is feminine. I’m not surprised.
Friday:
1 Corinthians 1-3 Spiritual Wisdom in Christ
After reading about wisdom in the Old Testament all week enjoy this look at New Testament wisdom from the Apostle Paul. Our life in Christ Jesus is the very core of the life of wisdom. I believe the task of the church is to develop this life of wisdom in ourselves and our neighbors. True wisdom is always extremely attractive to the world around us. It is also rare, even in the church. Ouch!
Saturday:
1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Wisdom of God
Bounce this passage of what is wise verses what is foolish off the return of the exiles and their wisdom in following God’s plan for their lives found in the Ezra and Nehemiah passages. Understanding the path of solid footing seems the first step toward a satisfying and fulfilled life. Wisdom is seeing and traveling that path. Notice the place humbleness and being vulnerably authentic play in this road to wholeness. Some things I highly valued, I now find unnecessary to carry on the journey of life. In whose name do you find your solid footing? Try coming home with new eyes and a new Spirit this week. Seek and hold faithfully the promises of God in your life.
Sunday: Reflect and Worship
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31
