August Scripture Readings

Join me in August for a continuing biblical journey. Just like in July, I am listing below the days of August with a scripture passage beside it. If you took up the challenge in July, I challenge you to continue reading in August. If you didn’t start in July, I am challenging you to join me in reading the listed passages for this month. I have chosen Paul’s Letter to the Church in Rome and a portion of the Psalms. 

Some versions of the Bible are broken into chapters. Read the full paragraphs, even if you end before or after the beginning of the next chapter. (A historical note: the verses and chapters weren’t there in the original manuscripts. They were added centuries later.)

I want you to read the passage twice every morning, they are only one chapter long. The first time, read it to find out what is being said. 

The second time, pray for God to allow the passage to speak to you and then read it to see what God may be saying to you. 

I would also like you to read it again at the end of the day. At the end of the day, see how it has affected your day or given you some understanding about your daily relationship with God and your family, friends, and co-workers.

Let me, or someone else, know how God is speaking to you. Share your thoughts and insights with someone else in the Family of the Church.
