Today's Bible Reading

April 22, 2021
Today's Bible Reading Plan selections can be found below. If you don't have a Bible with you, just click the references to read each passage online:

Old Testament
Judges 20-21  —  7.5 minutes
Psalms 91  —  3.0 minutes

New Testament
Mark 8:22-30  —  2.0 minutes
1 Corinthians 14:26-40  —  3.0 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 15.5 minutes

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

Psalm 52:1-9
Many people build their lives on the wrong priorities. The psalmist reflects on the way many live, and he concludes that they are trusting in the “abundance of riches” and not in the living God.

1. The pride of the wicked – verse 1
2. The power of the tongue – verse 2
3. The priorities of the wicked – verse 3
4. The plucking of the wicked’s tongue by God – verses 4-5
5. The perspective of the righteous – verses 6-7
6. The praise of the righteous – verses 8-9

The wicked follow their own strength and riches and believe that this is what counts in life. They love evil more than good, and have no qualms about lying and deceit. May God help us to trust in His mercy forever.
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 8 – “But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever."
