Bible Reading

 

Day

Reading

Info

Monday

2 Chronicles 1-4

Solomon received wisdom, prepares for the building of the Temple, builds it, and the items for it.

Tuesday

2 Chronicles 5-7

Solomon brings in the Ark of the Covenant and prays a prayer of dedication for the Temple.

Wednesday

2 Chronicles 8-11

More of Solomon's achievements and downfall of showing his wealth off to the queen of Sheba, his death, and Rehoboam's reign begins.

Thursday

2 Chronicles 12-16

More kings rule Judah, such as Abijah and Asa, who reforms Israel for a time, bringing them back to true worship.

Friday

2 Chronicles 17-19

Next we move into Jehoshaphat's reign, another godly king, who brought some more reforms to Judah.

Saturday

2 Chronicles 20-23

After Jehoshaphat came Jehoram and Ahaziah to the throne, both were wicked kings. Eventually, Joash will come to the throne, who will be yet another godly king.

 

Interesting notes:

·         By now, you're wondering why we are reading about some of the same people and events that we read about in 1&2 Kings. 1&2 Kings seems to focus more on just the kings of Judah and Judah's perspective.

·         In passages such as 2 Chronicles 7:20, the KJV reads, "proverb." That is an object of ridicule.

·         In chapter 10, we see the kingdom begin to divide, into the Northern Kingdom (Israel) and the Southern Kingdom (Judah).

·         Although Abijah was a wicked king, chapter 13 highlights some of the good things he did.

Gear up for an underground adventure that grounds kids in the rock-solid foundation of God's love, a love that takes us through life's dark times.

Please pray for VBS and that kids will be impacted for Christ through it.

 

Pray about where God can use you in our VBS this year. 

 

  

 

Just Remember:

When Gideon, with his 300 men,
armed only with pitchers, took the Midianite hosts,
he was a ridiculous minority
but he won (with God)!
