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 69:7-15
In yesterday’s passage, we read of those who “hate me without a cause,” quoted in the New Testament of our Lord in John 15:25. In our passage today, we read in verse 9 of that which is quoted of our Lord in Romans 15:3. David’s experiences are applied to the “Son of David,” the Messiah, our Lord.
  1. The reproach he had to bear – verses 7-8
  2. The reason behind it – verses 9-10
  3. The reaction of others to his pain – verses 11-12
  4. The response he had to the Lord – verse 13
  5. The request he made to the Lord – verses 14-15
Others will not always understand, but the Lord does! Our tears may not be known to others, but the Lord sees every one of them. He has promised deliverance – again, in His time and in His way.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 13 – “But as for me, my prayer is unto Thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of Thy mercy hear me, in the truth of Thy salvation.

Today's Prayer

“No matter how severe the pain and disappointments in my life, I lay it all at Your feet, and trust You for the outcome.”
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.
