Month 5: May
Days 121 - 151 | 2 Samuel • 1 Chronicles • Psalms • 1 Kings
Welcome to Month 5: Chronological Bible Reading Plan
Welcome to Month 5. Last month, you watched David rise. This month, you will watch him reign — and fall — and rise again. Month 5 is an emotionally complex section of our Heart Dive 365 journey. You are going to sit with a man described as "a man after God's own heart" and watch his family shatter as a direct consequence of his sin. And then, you are going to watch him write some of the most breathtakingly honest prayers ever recorded.
May opens with David consolidating his kingdom and receiving the Davidic covenant. This is not just a political promise; this is a redemptive one. If you want to read the Bible in one year, this is the month where the chronological bible reading plan makes the Psalms stop being poetry and become testimony.
From the heartbreak of Bathsheba to the raw grief of family rebellion, you will see that God does not abandon His people. By Day 151, you will be standing at the edge of Solomon's reign, holding the weight of everything David's story cost — and everything it secured.
