In 2023, I began incorporating “hearing” the Bible as a part of my daily devotions. Listening to the Bible while reading can indeed enhance your devotion time, help you maintain consistency in daily reading, and improve your Bible knowledge.

The biblical books of 1 & 2 Samuel are recognized as accounts of the establishment of Israel's monarchy and the rule of its first two kings, Saul and David. While these books certainly offer historical insights into the nation's transition from a loose confederation of tribes to a centralized monarchy, they also hold a profound spiritual significance that transcends mere historical narrative. At the heart of this significance lies the subtle but undeniable revelation of Jesus Christ, foreshadowed in various events, characters, and themes throughout the texts.

The pages of the Bible hold a profound tapestry of stories, lessons, and revelations spanning centuries, cultures, and generations. Among these cherished narratives lies the Book of Ruth, a seemingly simple account of love, loyalty, and providence unfolding within the context of ancient Israel. Yet, beneath its surface, the Book of Ruth conceals spiritual truths and prophetic insights that unmistakably point to the person and work of Jesus Christ.

The book of Joshua stands as a remarkable testament to the unfolding narrative of God's redemptive plan and the foreshadowing of the ultimate Savior, Jesus Christ. As the story of Israel's conquest of the Promised Land unfolds, hidden within its passages are profound glimpses into the person and work of Jesus—a foreshadowing that bridges the Old and New Testaments, linking God's ancient promises to their fulfillment in the New Covenant.

The Book of Deuteronomy is a pivotal and captivating piece of biblical literature, encapsulating the essence of the Israelite nation's journey from slavery in Egypt to the Promised Land. Amidst its historical narratives, legal statutes, and ethical instructions, one can discern an underlying thread that ultimately points to the revelation of Jesus Christ. As the fifth book of the Pentateuch, Moses authored Deuteronomy, serving as his farewell address to the people he led for forty years in the wilderness. Within its verses, one can discern profound allusions and prophecies foretelling the coming of Jesus and His redemptive mission.

The Book of Numbers, a significant part of the Old Testament, often remains unexplored and overshadowed by other biblical narratives. Yet, beneath its surface lies a treasure trove of wisdom and spiritual insights that reveal the person of Jesus Christ. While Numbers recounts the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, it also unveils profound glimpses of the Messiah's character, mission, and redemptive work.
