Do what is right and good.
I am reading the entire Chronological Bible for the 13th consecutive year and I know there is a group of you who are reading it with me. It’s February so we’re still in the beginning of the Bible but God highlighted a phrase to me that we have already read several times, ” Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight, so that it may be well with you.” Deut. 6:18.
I definitely want things to ‘go well’ with me and I’m sure you are on that same page. God is telling me – and you – that he wants to guide us. He wants to light up our path. He wants to walk beside us when the trials of life on this planet try to overwhelm us.
The part you and I have in this is to do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight.
That’s my goal. I’m not perfect- no one knows that better than my Father God. It’s very clear to me that God doesn’t expect perfection, he desires that I admit my mistakes and sins to him with a humble heart and turn away from them.
I have found that it is much easier to do what is ‘right and good in the Lord’s eyes’ when I am reading God’s Word each day with my eyes and heart open to what he is saying to me. I am also finding a huge benefit from reading the entire Bible – not just a verse here and a chapter there. Reading God’s Word in Chronological order has helped it make sense to me. I tried one of those reading plans where you read parts of the Old Testament, New Testament and then a Psalm or Proverbs. It didn’t keep my attention. I lost my motivation. What I was reading didn’t tie together into a bigger picture.
The Daily Chronological Bible has kept my attention for 13 years. Because it is a Daily Bible, it has dates on the top of the pages which help give me the structure I need to keep going. I sometimes get ahead and other times I get behind but I keep moving forward. This Bible is not good for studying verse by verse because chapters are condensed and combined. But it is a great reading Bible.
Because I am consistently reading his Word, God is constantly talking to me, guiding me and teaching me his truth.
There’s no question in my mind that this is ‘right and good in the Lord’s sight.’
Thank you for your awesome Word to us, Abba Father.
Come with me on a Journey through the Bible 
I am on my 3rd year of the One Year Bible. It too has the day, and is laid out with old and new testament, psalms and proverbs. I love it!
That’s great! I think we need to each figure out what works for us and stay committed. The structure of the Daily Bible has kept me from wandering or stopping.💙💙
I agree. I like that they have put each part in the day for me. I tried once with a reading plan laid out on a sheet, and it was too hard to flip back and forth to the readings for the day.
I use the Daily Chronological Bible which combines scriptures and books into the order they happened. This really resonates with me and I love reading it every year💙💙
Ooooo, I like that. I’m going to have to check that out!
I just ordered one from Amazon!
Awesome! Let me know what you think! It’s not a good study Bible but it’s a great reading Bible💙💙💙
I will! A friend got me a study Bible, but a reading Bible is good too!
Yes! They are good for different purposes.💙💙
It arrived in my mail today! Can’t wait to dig in!
💙💙💙
I think my head is going to explode into confetti! This is SO cool how it is laid out. Putting everything in the proper timeline. Thank you for recommending it!
I know- I love it! It makes it all make so much more sense to me! And I love reading the entire revelation of God every year. I’m glad you are on this journey with me💙💙
Me too!
💙💙💙
