民数记 21:20

In the beginning was the Word … but what came next? This plan is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the Bible. It provides a chronological reading program that endeavors to place all biblical passages in their date order. Part Two of this twelve-part one-year reading plan is titled 'Forty Years in the Wilderness, 1491 BC–1452 BC'.

This is the third part of a reading plan that works through every verse in the Old Testament once, every verse in the New Testament three times, and the Psalms eight times over three years following the lectionary pattern of reading in the Psalms, Old Testament, and New Testament each day.

The Book of Numbers tells the story of Israel’s journey through the wilderness—a time of testing, failure, and God’s unwavering faithfulness. As they moved toward the Promised Land, their struggles revealed the importance of trusting God, even in uncertainty. Through this study, we’ll explore how their journey mirrors our own, calling us to faith, obedience, and confidence in God’s promises.
