1 Kings 20:13, 28

My new song is called “Amadeo”, which is derived from the Latin term meaning “lover of God”. The inspiration for the song came a few months back as I observed one of my dear friends go through one of the most painful situations a person could face. Watching someone navigate tremendous grief in such a God-honoring manner changed the way I have approached the Lord over the past months.

With the death of King David, Israel came under the leadership of Solomon. Although Solomon possessed incredible wealth and wisdom, his idolatry and unfaithfulness lead to derision and division in the kingdom. Despite Solomon and Israel's sinfulness, God continued to preserve the Davidic line in anticipation of the greater coming King, Jesus Christ.

This is the twelfth installment of a Bible reading plan following the lectionary pattern, offering daily readings from the Psalms, Old Testament, and New Testament. Each day includes a devotional primer to help prepare your heart and mind for a deeper, more meaningful encounter with Scripture. While this plan is designed to align with Holy Week in April, it can be used at any time, though it will be most relevant during that season.

June – No complicated content, just a monthly chronological journey through the Bible. The Bible isn’t arranged in the order events happened; it’s organized by genre. June follows the reign of Solomon and the early years of Israel’s divided kingdom, moving through Kings, Chronicles, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. You’ll see wisdom given, worship established, and warning signs ignored as leadership shifts and hearts drift. This month highlights God’s generosity in granting wisdom, His desire for wholehearted devotion, and the consequences — both good and painful — of how His people respond to Him.
