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 series

of pray the word is a little different from what you may be used to as far as

just taking a book of the Bible and going chapter by chapter

successively one after the other so I want to give you a little context about

what pray the word is going to look like. The church that I have the privilege of

pasturing, McLean Bible Church in Greater Washington, D.C. is 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 in the next day do the same in 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.

You're obviously welcome to join in the Bible reading plan

that we're walking through if you'd like.
