A CHRONOLOGICAL BIBLE READING SCHEDULE (For the whole year click here)
Week Three - January 15-21
Day Scriptures Notes
1 Job 32:1-34:37 Now Elihu comes into the story with a series of speeches that cover six
chapters. In the three for today, he expresses his anger toward the other four
men (32:1-22), appeals to Job to listen to him (33:1-33), exalts God (34:1-
30), and rebukes Job (34:31-37).
2 Job 35:1-37:24 Elihu's speeches end by accusing Job of speaking in vain (35:1-16), and
exalting God for His compassion and might (36:1-37:24).
3 Job 38:1-39:30 Jehovah finally speaks, demanding that Job stop and think about the things
that establish the difference between Almighty God and mortal man.
4 Job 40:1-42:17 In these closing chapters, God challenges Job again; and Job admits that he
needs to be silent (40:1-5). Then God illustrates His power by describing
two of the great creatures (dinosaurs) of His creation (40:6-41:34). In the
last chapter, Job repents (42:1-6), and the Lord shows His approval of Job,
and thus wins the battle against Satan (42:7-17).
5 Acts 7:1-16
Joshua 24:1-4
Genesis 12:1-14:24
According to the last chapter of Job, he lived 140 years after his trial of
patience. So during the chapters we are now reading in Genesis, Job was
alive. Abraham and his family were not the only godly people during that
age.
6 Genesis 15:1-19:38 This reading is longer than most of the others, but it clearly shows how there
were many very important events in the life of Abraham. These events are
still important, as we can see by remembering that the life of Abraham is
used throughout the Bible as a tool to teach all generations (see Romans
15:4).
7 Genesis 20:1-22:24
Romans 4:1-25
Hebrews 11:17-19
James 2:20-24
This reading begins with another lie on the part of Abraham, and ends with
the great story of his faith and works in the offering of Isaac.

Quick thought
Hey all,
Just had a quick thought while reflecting back on Job and moving forward into the story of Abram. Chronologically reading to the story of Abram ---> Abraham, has such a great impact. First you read of Job's restoration after so much suffering and loss. And then we move right into even more miraculous intervention by our God, to bring forth a great nation under seemingly impossible circumstances! This is a great book, no wonder its a best seller :D
