Day 122 | 2 Samuel 24:1-9; 1 Chronicles 21:1-6; 2 Samuel 24:10-17; 1 Chronicles 21:7-17; 2 Samuel 24:18-25; 1 Chronicles 21:18–22:19

David’s decision to take a prideful census leads to devastating consequences for Israel—70,000 people die in just three days. But what starts as a story of sin ends in a moment of powerful repentance, mercy, and answered prayer. Watch how God turns David’s failure into the foundation of something eternal—the very site where His temple will be built. A vivid reminder that our sin has consequences, but our God always hears a repentant heart.

It’s a remarkable blueprint for how to handle problems in our own lives. Whether you’re facing conflict, uncertainty, or hurt, David’s honest and faith-filled process offers wisdom and hope.

In today’s reading, we witness David’s heartbreak and deep trust as he flees from his rebellious son Absalom. Through 2 Samuel 17–18, Psalm 3, and Psalm 63, we see David worship God from a place of fear and exile, clinging to God's protection even while his own people turn against him. Meanwhile, Absalom’s pride leads to a tragic and ironic death—caught by the very hair he gloried in. These passages show us the danger of pride, the reality of consequence, and the beauty of turning our fears into worship.

Day 118 | 2 Samuel 15:1–17:14

Today’s reading captures the painful unraveling of David’s family and kingdom as Absalom initiates a subtle yet strategic rebellion. Fueled by pride, deception, and unresolved bitterness, Absalom manipulates the hearts of the people and turns them against his father. David, now humbled and heartbroken, chooses to submit himself to the will of God rather than grasp for power. This episode explores the dangers of pride, the power of humility, and the generational impact of unresolved sin—offering a sobering and deeply relevant look into 2 Samuel 15–17.

Day 117 | 2 Samuel 12:26-31; 1 Chronicles 20:2-3; 2 Samuel 13:1–14:33Today’s reading brings us into one of the darkest chapters in David’s story—his son Amnon's assault of Tamar, David’s tragic failure to intervene, and Absalom's deadly revenge. This heartbreaking sequence fulfills the prophetic judgment declared after David’s own sin with Bathsheba. But through it all, we’re reminded that unchecked sin ripples through generations, and silence in the face of evil brings destruction. This episode also offers a powerful call to repentance, accountability, and hope for those caught in sexual sin—alongside practical tools to fight for purity and freedom in Christ.Hosts: Derek Ewalt; Michael PritchardVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch

Today’s reading takes us into one of the most sobering and powerful chapters of David’s life—his sin with Bathsheba, the murder of Uriah, and his eventual repentance after being confronted by the prophet Nathan. While David’s actions were devastating, his heartfelt confession in Psalm 51 shows us the path to true repentance and restoration with God. This episode is a deep reminder that no one is beyond forgiveness and that God desires a broken and contrite heart more than empty performance.
