This is a small group that was following the plan to read through the Bible one chapter at a time with Good Morning Girls. Good Morning Girls is on an indefinite break. But will we continue reading through the Bible.
Each Monday go to the Weekly Reading Plan or the Bible Study Thread for our current book to see the introductory post for the week and the weekly reading passages, discussion questions, and memory verse.
Be sure to come here each day to see what the members of the group are sharing. Try to participate in the discussion with a post at least once each week to share with us what God is teaching you. Posting on the forum helps motivate all of us to keep reading by seeing the others persevering and it provides additional insight and learning.
Each Friday we will attempt to share a Friday Devotional that addresses some of the topics we have read that week.
Please also take time to read the Group Overview post that provides some ideas on how to get the most out of your study here! You can find this post in the the "Bible Study" section of the board.

Week of July 3
This Week’s Reading Assignment
S.O.A.K. any verse of your choosing.
The group discussion thread is under Bible Study » 2 Samuel.
Day One
Reading: 2 Samuel 21
Verse of the Day: 2 Samuel 21:1
Optional GMG Discussion/ Personal Reflection Question: After a famine in the land went on and on and on, David finally sought God. CS Lewis said: “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
God uses difficulties and trials to turn our hearts toward him. What pain or trial has God used in your life to get your attention and how have you sought and found God in the midst of your difficulty?
Day Two
Reading: 2 Samuel 22
Verse of the Day: 2 Samuel 22:2
Optional GMG Discussion/ Personal Reflection Question: David lists all the things that God is to him. He gives him title after title, as he praises God.
What is God to you? Give God praise by listing some of the titles you have for God below.
Day Three
Reading: 2 Samuel 23
Verse of the Day: 2 Samuel 23:4
Optional GMG Discussion/ Personal Reflection Question: As David reflects on his life, though it was far from perfect, he remembers how blessed he was. God was always with him and never forsook him. Like a glorious sunrise, after a dark night, were the blessings of God in his life.
Pause for a moment and consider the most beautiful sunrise you have ever seen. Where were you? Now compare that to the blessings you have received in your life despite the imperfections. How are God’s blessings like a sunrise in your life?
Day Four
Reading: 2 Samuel 24
Verse of the Day: 2 Samuel 24:24
Optional GMG Discussion/ Personal Reflection Question: David sinned by numbering his people and attempting to take credit and glory, for the growth of his kingdom. God punished David. David desired to be back in fellowship with God and so he built an altar. Araunah offered to give David what he needed for his sacrifice but David knew that his sacrifice must cost him something if it was going to please God.
Following God comes with a cost. Is there something you need to give up so you can live a more obedient life to God? What has following God cost you? Remember what we gain far outweighs any sacrifice we could ever give.
