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 8:1-9
The beauty and majesty of these verses is unparalleled in all literature! Creation speaks of the glory of God (Psalm 19:1), and the mystery of all mysteries is that God became man to redeem and save us (I Timothy 3:16) from our sins. The beautiful work of the Messiah as the God-Man is described, including His ultimate triumph over all things!
  1. The declaration of God’s glory and ultimate victory – verses 1-2, 9
  2. The dilemma between God’s glory and humanity – verses 3-4a
  3. The descent of God to the level of humanity – verses 4b-5 – (read Hebrews 2:6-9)
  4. The dominion He has received – verses 6-8
The proper response to today’s study is to explode with praise to our great God Who is “above the heavens”!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 9 – “O LORD our Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all the earth.”

In this section we will learn what happens at the end of the 7th judgment. Mankind is still cursing god because he does not understand the judgments of God. Then we see the words "It is done" at the end of all these judgments. What exactly does that mean and how is it used throughout the Bible?About     |      Giving     |     Devotions  |     Prayer    |     Video
