The Shock of Glory

The Shock Of Glory Like Peter, James and John, we sometimes take the wonder and glory of God too lightly. He becomes quite ordinary; just one of the guys. Father, yes … king, maybe … but still on a rather flesh-and-blood human level. Then comes the magnificent shock of glory. The protective covering is gone and we, too, fall down terrified. Prayer: Dear Lord, I stand in awe of you today. Forgive me for so often times taking you for granted, for failing to appreciate your astounding holiness and glory. I am conscious of the reverence rising within me in beholding your glory. Adoration and praise belong to you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Day 26

CATCH-UP TIME

[Scheduled Reading: Job 35-42, Psalm 1-24]

You’ll notice I graded some of the wisdom books (Job, Psalm, Proverbs) as Speed 1, 2, or 3. That means, your choice.

It can be a chance to catch-up with the plan if you need. Just fly through the pages.

It can be hard to get much out of these poetic texts during a power read pace during the 60-day read. In reality, these poetic texts are designed for deep reflection and meditation.

When reading through the Psalms during the 60-day read, sometimes I will start with a few chapters and digest slowly. Then after what might seem like a short quiet time session, I’ll pick up the pace.

Bottom line - move quickly.

As always - this is your plan. Make it fit you. For me, it’s a chance to give my brain a break as I head toward Day 30, the midway point.
