25 Ways to Read Scripture - Day 19

Reading a lectionary

For many centuries believers have used lectionaries to guide their reading of Scripture (some scholars even believe this practice began before the birth of Christ).  Most commonly, a lectionary assigns three Scripture passages a every day for a three-year cycle, so that much of the Bible is covered during those three years.  Our bookstore contains devotional books based on the lectionary (10% off this week!), and one can also find them on-line or subscribe to a daily email (see, for example,  http://www.presbyterianmission.org/subscriptions/lists/daily-lectionary/).

In one lectionary, today's readings are Psalm 31, Gen. 11: 27 - 12:8, Heb. 7: 1-17.
