Scripture Reading Plan for Sabbath and Rest

Posted on April 13, 2023 by revlisad

I’ll start a new sermon series on April 30th entitled The Gift of Sabbath. It’s inspired by the book and video 24/6: A Prescription for a Healthier Happier Life by Matthew Sleeth.

The following scripture reading plan was designed to accompany the sermon series. Feel free to adjust the dates to what suits you best.

You’re welcome to join us live for worship anytime at 9:30 am or 11:00 am at Coronado Community United Methodist Church in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. You can also find a recording of our 9:30 am service on our YouTube Channel.

FAQ for the Reading Plan:

5 readings per week for 5 weeks, beginning the week of April 23rd and ending the week of May 21st.
Includes a simple plan to help you hear from God through scripture reading- Stillness, Attention, Connection, Invitation to Action, and Prayer.
The reading plan is designed with grace. If I use a 7-day-a-week plan I get behind and I get discouraged and I drop out. A 5-day reading plan leaves room to catch up and to rest.
Consider printing the plan on card stock and using it as a bookmark.

based on Psalm 19:7-14

Prayer: Words and Ways
Your words and ways are
Perfect
Sure
Right
Clear

Your words and ways are
Pure
True
Righteous
Every one

Their value, beyond price
Their goodness, beyond delight
Their counsel, enduring blessing

Place in me a longing
To desire them
Become them
Every one

Prayer: Rock and Redeemer
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
– Psalm 19:14

Revive my soul
Make me wise
Re-joy my heart
Enlighten my eyes

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
– Psalm 19:14

Grant me holy reverence
A desire for you
And your goodness, alone

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
– Psalm 19:14

Clear me of hidden falsehood
Making way for your ways
Your innocence, reborn

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
– Psalm 19:14
