Day 263 of the Professor Grant Horner Bible Reading Plan
Today's readings delve into intercessory prayers, veiled constructions, agape definitions, persevering encouragements, lengthy rebukes, hallelujah exhortations, relational insights, aged allocations, oracular burdens, and reconciliatory gatherings.
- List 1 (Gospels): John 17 Jesus prays for himself in glorification hour, eternal life as knowing God; intercedes for disciples' protection, unity, sanctification in truth; extends to future believers' oneness, indwelling love revealed globally.
- List 2 (Pentateuch): Exodus 26 Tabernacle specs: ten fine linen curtains with cherubim, looped; eleven goat-hair coverings; acacia boards gold-overlaid, bars, rings; inner veil separating Most Holy, outer screen.
- List 3 (Pauline Epistles): 1 Corinthians 13 Love paramount over gifts: patient, kind, not envious or boastful; bears, believes, hopes, endures all; partial ceases at perfection; faith, hope abide but love greatest.
- List 4 (General Epistles): 1 Thessalonians 3 Paul sends Timothy amid separation anxiety, reports steadfast faith brings comfort; prays night/day for reunion, strengthened love; blameless holiness before God at Christ's coming.
- List 5 (Job, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon): Job 15 Eliphaz accuses Job of undermining fear of God with windy words; insists wicked tormented, restless, destroyed by own schemes; no secret sin escapes divine judgment.
- List 6 (Psalms): Psalm 113 Praise Lord's name forever, exalted above nations, heavens; raises poor from dust, barren to joyful mother; who like Him enthroned high yet stooping low.
- List 7 (Proverbs): Proverbs 15 Gentle answer turns wrath, wise words heal; Lord sees everywhere, abhors evil; better little with righteousness than abundance unjustly; plans succeed with counsel, pride precedes fall.
- List 8 (Historical Books): Joshua 14 Canaan allotments west of Jordan; Caleb claims Hebron per Moses' promise, wholly followed Lord; at 85, still strong for war, drives out Anakim giants.
- List 9 (Prophets): Isaiah 13 Burden against Babylon: dreadful day summons warriors to destroy; stars darken, hearts melt in anguish; cruel Medes conquer, city desolate like Sodom, never reinhabited.
- List 10 (Acts): Acts 11 Peter defends Gentile inclusion via vision, Spirit's fall; Antioch disciples first called Christians; Barnabas fetches Saul; Agabus prophesies famine, relief sent to Judea.
