Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Hi, this is David Platt.

I want to thank you for praying God's word with us through this podcast.

And I want to let you know that this next series of Pray the Word

is going to be a little different from what you may be used to as far as

just taking a book of the Bible and going chapter by chapters successively one after the other.

So I want to give you a little context about what this next 10 months or so of Pray the Word is going to look like.

The church that I have the

privilege of pastoring, McLean Bible Church in greater Washington, D.C., is going to be reading

and studying through the story of scripture together this year. So we're going to start

in Genesis 1 and we're going to walk through a Bible reading plan that's six days a week where we will cover

the story of scripture chronologically. So we'll go from Genesis to Revelation, but along the way,

we will be looking at different parts of the Bible as they appear in time to try to see how the

story of scripture fits together. The Bible reading plan has

about one or two chapters a day. And so for Pray the Word, what I'm going to do is take one verse

from that day's reading and let it lead us to pray accordingly. And then the next day, do the same,

the next day. So what that means is we won't hit

every chapter in the Bible. So over the course of this Bible reading plan, we won't read

every single chapter in scripture. So we will be hitting select texts and they will be in

chronological order. So not necessarily in the order in which we see them in our Bible,

for example, in the table of contents.

But I hope it will be helpful for you as you track along.
