2 Samuel 1:19

2 Samuel is all about Jesus! This 9-day plan will walk you through the book of 2 Samuel by reading just a chapter or two a day. Each day is accompanied by a short devotional and video that explains what’s happening and shows you how each part of the story points to Jesus and his Gospel.

It is our hope and prayer that the devotionals that follow will warm your heart and lift your spirit as they lead you to lean on the Lord, our Shepherd and our Guide through the valley of grief.

First responders answer the call by running to trouble every day. Where do they turn when they need help? This reading plan from Our Daily Bread Ministries includes encouraging meditations that have been written specifically for police, firefighters, EMTs, and medical personnel.

2 Samuel depicts the ascension and reign of King David following the death of Saul and Jonathan. David united the kingdom, established Jerusalem as the capital city, and extended the territory of Israel. At the crescendo of the book, God promises David that "your throne shall be established forever" (2 Samuel 7:16). Despite David's wickedness, God ultimately fulfills his promises to David through the person and work of Jesus Christ.
