Please Note: Today is the 25th of the month. After today, there will be no Bible Reading Plan selections until the 1st of next month. Why not use these extra days to catch up if you’ve fallen behind?
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 55:1-7
David expresses his fear and complains in this portion of scripture, and cries out to God. You cannot read this with a believing heart and not feel the agony that he was going through. Often we feel like running away with “wings of a dove.”
  1. His request for God to hear him – verses 1-2
  2. His reason for this cry to God – verse 3
  3. His reactions were overwhelming – verses 4-5
  4. His response to what he was facing – to run away – verses 6-7
Never think for a moment that God is not with you! He will never leave you nor forsake you, and His ear is open to our cries. Don’t run away!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 1 – “Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not Thyself from my supplication.”

Today's Prayer

“Lord, keep me from trying to run away from my problems and pressures, but rather to lay my burdens at Your feet.”
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.
