Here’s a full list of what I read in 2025 (excluding material read for teaching, preaching and writing).

The Lord is wise in heart and mighty in strength—we can trust him, even when it seems we can’t #Job #DailyReadings

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

This wasn’t what I expected. Instead of a novel I found myself reading a travelogue of Steinbeck’s tour of America. But his writing is tremendous, his observations penetrating and his descriptions vivid. None of Steinbeck’s books have disappointed me!

Sometimes God refuses to fulfil our hopes, and while this is painful at the time, it is ultimately for our good in God’s mysterious providence #Job #DailyReadings

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

Our suffering is not always a consequence of our sin. Sometimes it is. But sometimes it may be a sign of our righteousness and faithfulness to God. Either way, the question is: will we continue to trust and worship God even in great suffering? #Job #DailyReadings

@jonnypollock @Logos Haha - too kind Jonny!

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

I bashed out 3,500 words today on Psalm 72. Some exegesis and some intertextuality. Amazed by how many echoes and allusions there are to Genesis!

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

@Logos @jonnypollock Some help on conducting word/phrase searches in Greek and Hebrew would be great. I want to make sure I’m using those features correctly and to their potential.

Divine providence rules the world #Esther #DailyReadings

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

Mordecai’s conviction that God would rescue his people one way or another is instructive. He had total confidence in the character of God to keep the promises of God #Esther #DailyReadings

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

A gem on Christian conversion. Persuasive and perceptive. Although a little dated in some ways, all of the undergirding principles remain present in contemporary culture. Deserves to be better known and more widely read.

“Christ is not for consumption but for worship” ~ David Wells #TurningToGod

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

“Remember me, O my God, for good” ~ #Nehemiah #DailyReadings

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

“Only through imitation do we develop toward originality” ~ John Steinbeck

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

Too often we skim the long lists of alien names in Scripture. Each one is a life lived, a story written, a series of complicated relationships, a tangible expression of God’s grace. This much is true of those who returned to Jerusalem named in #Nehemiah #DailyReadings

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

Shoutout to @DemarsSean for the way he honored and helped an aging saint in this interview!

Also a great episode hearing from the man who authored one of the most—if not the most—popular systematic theologies.

The heart of the gospel according to #Nehemiah: God deals faithfully, we act wickedly—yet, there is forgiveness, grace, mercy and steadfast love. No better news to hear on a Wednesday #DailyReadings

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

Celebrating a week later than we should be—16 years already!
Life isn’t always plain sailing but it’s certainly better with Tracy by my side.

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

Returning to Jerusalem, rebuilding the walls, renewing temple worship and following faithful & God-fearing men are the fruit of God’s promise-keeping. But this wasn’t the fulfillment of these promises—Jesus is at his incarnation & will be at his return #Nehemiah #DailyReadings

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

Super helpful encouragement and exhortation to personal evangelism. Convicted. Challenged. Coached. Compelled.

[Davy Ellison @DavyEllison]

It is the entrance of the Word of God into a person’s heart that brings light and understanding. So our priority as witnesses should be to bring our friends and acquaintances into direct contact with Scripture ~ John Lennox
