Route 66: Day Three

ERE’S the second day of the Route 66 challenge to take a trip through the sixty-six books of the Bible. I’ll post nine more days of passages that will take you from the beginning to the end. Here’s the overview of the study. Here’s day one and here’s day two.

Whether the verses are about Levi’s family who served as priests, or about signs and miracles, think about how they point to the theme that God created us to live in his presence and be satisfied with his goodness. All these topics point to the one who will come to lead us back into God’s presence.

Bible Summary: God created us to live in his presence and be satisfied with his goodness.
