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 68:24-29
Here is a reminder of what God delights in – the praise and worship of His people. When we see what He has done and will do, we explode with praise and bless the Lord – with the music of our hearts, we express our worship and love of the Lord for all that He has done! How about you? How about now?

1. The sight of God’s goings – verse 24
2. The singer who led in worship – verse 25
3. The scope of those who worship – verses 26-27
4. The strength of the Lord – verse 28
5. The sacrifices to be given at the temple – verse 29

In the worship of God’s people, the temple was the central place and focus. That is where God’s shekinah presence would dwell. The building is not the issue, but rather the God Who inhabits the praise of His people!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 26 – “Bless ye God in the congregations, even the LORD, from the fountain of Israel!”

Today's Prayer

“Fill my heart and my mouth, O Lord, with songs of praise to You.”

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.
