Basically, 1 Kings 7, 2 Chron. 7-8, 1 Kings 9, 1 Kings 4, 1 Kings 10, Psalm 72
Ryan: What gripped me the most in today’s reading was the description of Solomon’s throne room. From one perspective, we read this passage (1 Kings 10:14-21, et al.) and think about how magnificent the throne room was and [...]
1 Kings 8, 2 Chron. 5:2-14, 2 Chron. 6, 2 Chron. 7:1-10
Ryan: Today, I was struck by 2 Chronicles 6:32-33 where Solomon prays for the foreigners. In my own words, Solomon prays that as the foreigners pray to a god they do not believe in (the God of Israel), to grant them their prayers so [...]
Basically, 1 Kings 5–7 & 2 Chron. 2-4, 2 Chron 8:12-16 (1 Kings 9:25)
Ryan: Thanks to all “those miserable psalms,” it’s been a while since I’ve gotten to do a nice solid math post. Having gotten to read about Solomon’s building of the Temple of the Name of the Lord, we got another day of [...]
Psalm 42, Psalm 53, Psalm 58, Psalm 81, Psalm 101

Psalm 139, Psalm 145, Psalm 148, Psalm 150
Ryan: What beautiful music we read in our daily Bible reading today! Between the hymn that Samantha is writing about (below), the instrumental praise band in Psalm 150, and the countless contemporary Christian songs that use Psalm 139 as source material, we have enough music to bring glory [...]

Psalm 119
Ryan: How cool is it that the longest chapter in the entire Bible is all about how wonderful is the word of God? If you search Psalm 119 in the King James Version for “Thy Word,” you’ll learn that the phrase occurs 39 times, or in approximately 22% of all the 176 verses in [...]
