1 Samuel 31:12

This reading plan will introduce you to the book of Samuel, including why and under what circumstances the book was written and how it applies to Christians today.

I sense that the Lord wants us to study the Holy Habit of Fasting. Fasting is going without food in order to feast on Jesus. I sense the Lord wants his people to learn more about fasting, how to practice fasting and learn how to do it well and effectively for the kingdom.

By the end of this study, we pray that you will know God’s voice better, that you will know when and how he speaks, and feel compelled to obey. As we study Scripture, we will discover that God’s plan cannot be thwarted regardless of who is in power. The point of the original monarchy found in 1 and 2 Samuel, illustrates that from the beginning.

Life is filled with unexpected setbacks. Fear, failure, and resistance threaten to stall our progress and discourage our faith. But throughout the Bible, we see that when God calls someone forward, obstacles are simply part of the journey—not the end of it. In this Bible Reading Plan, explore the life of David to see how faithful obedience and trust in God’s strength enables us to keep moving forward, even when the path is blocked.
