Finished Hosea and Joel today. You know, I didn't realize how much prophecy Joel contained. It is a small book in the Old Testament. There are only 3 chapters in the whole book. And it gets rather dark.
Joel 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
I'll move to Amos next, and it's nine chapters. Obadiah follows, with one chapter. I suspect the minor prophets are going to be a fast read. Then, my goal is to start the poetic books. I am not using a "plan". Instead, I'm working through the shortest books in order of my interest.
Once those are done, I intend to start on the longer major prophets. I was thinking this morning that I might pull out my chronological Bible for the New Testament but decided not to. I'll get bogged down with all the notes included in that version. There's history, archeology, and statistics throughout that Bible, and I have to read every single thing on every page.
So, that's where things stand now.
The Charlie Kirk murder has knocked me down. I've also been dealing with a lot of physical pain. So, it's been a terrible week all the way around.
I hope the coming week will bring a positive outlook and changes.
