Chronological Bible Reading for May 31
I Kings 3-4; II Chronicles 1; Psalms 72

I Kings 3:2 – The people were sacrificing in many different high places. This could possibly cause individuals to esteem one high place above another, thus making a place as god in their heart, instead of Jehovah. This division of worship is dangerous to losing the truth of God’s Word. Even now we esteem one denomination above another based on the teachings we receive. We must study the Word of God to find ourselves approved and not just accept what we hear from others. I have downloaded about 30 free versions of the bible for the e–Sword software and use them to help me understand what I am reading.
