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 54:1-7
David was fleeing from king Saul who was trying to kill him, knowing that God had chosen David to replace him. David found wonderful peace in his dependency upon the Lord – especially in those times when he was all alone. Never forget that the Lord is with you wherever you are and whatever you face.
  1. His prayer for God’s intervention – verses 1-2
  2. The plans which some had against him – verse 3
  3. The Person he really trusted – verses 4-5
  4. The praise he expressed to the Lord – verses 6-7
There are those times when we can’t see what God is doing and we feel pressure all around us, wondering what to do next! That is a time for prayer and praise!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 6 – “I will freely sacrifice unto Thee: I will praise Thy name, O Lord; for it is good.”​

Today's Prayer

“Help me, Lord, to see that You are always there as my Helper, and that You will deliver me.”
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.
