Today's Bible Reading

Our Bible Reading Plan runs from the 1st to the 25th of each month.
The next reading will be on the 1st of next month. Check back then!

This reading plan will make it easy and fun for you to read through the entire Bible this year. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Although the plan begins with January, you can begin at any time during the year.
• Each month’s readings are based on 25 days worth of readings, which means you get several free days if you ever fall behind. This makes reaching your goal a lot more possible!
• Each day’s readings will include selections from both the Old and New Testament, reinforcing the incredible unity of the Scriptures. Perhaps most important, you will focus daily on the life of Jesus by reading a portion of one of the Gospels every single day of the year.

May God bless you as you open His precious Word each day, and remember to pray for His guidance in your study. It is our desire that you will become increasingly changed into His likeness by beholding the Lord through His Word.

Today's Meditation - Psalms

Read Psalm 55:17-23
David reminds us all that friends can betray us, and have “war…in his heart.” But, we must cast our burdens on the Lord – trusting Him to take care of matters in His timing, and for His glory and our good. No one will ever get away with anything – payday someday!

1. His practice of prayer – verse 17
2. The peace which only God can give – verse 18
3. The punishment will come from God – verse 19
4. The pain which even friends can cause – verses 20-21
5. The placing of our burdens upon the Lord – verses 22-23

There is no greater need in our hearts than what these verses teach – “Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee.” Too often, we carry them around with us and they dominate everything we try to do and say. Let it go! Leave it with the Lord!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 22 – “Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”

Today's Prayer

“Forgive me, Lord, for the many times I have ignored You and continued in trying to solve my own problems.”

Prayer Center     
     As Christians, we are called to pray for God’s guidance and wisdom. We feel it is more imperative than ever for believers to stand together in prayerful unity as the world continues on a downward spiral toward the Tribulation hour. Calamity causes people to waste huge amounts of time fixated on watching the destruction instead of praying for protection and God’s miraculous interventions.
The Bible is filled with verses encouraging us to stay focused on praying for God’s will for our lives; for the safety and wellbeing of our families, ministries and leaders; for the spiritual awakening of the unsaved so they to come to true salvation in Christ; and of course for one another and anything that the Lord places upon our hearts.
    Up to the final moments of our days on earth, until the day of the Rapture of the Church, we are dedicated to be prayer warriors for the cause of Christ. Each Monday we publish prayer needs and invite fellow believers to pray.
