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 69:25-30
David desires the judgment of God upon the wicked who have attacked him. He is quite graphic in the way he describes what he wants God to do – but, in the end, we must all leave these matters to God Himself, of course! It does seem strange as to why David would feel this way and not desire their salvation. He does indicate in the Psalms that he wants God to be merciful to the wicked. These conflicts are seen in every heart – the results are left to God!
  1. Their place is to be made desolate – verse 25
  2. Their persecution was in addition to what God had brought – verse 26
  3. His prayer for their judgment – verses 27-28
  4. His poverty before God – verse 29
  5. His praise of the Name of God – verse 30
David ends this section with praise and thanksgiving. No matter what pressures and difficulties we may be having in this world, our great need is to praise the Name of our God.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 30 – “I will praise the Name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.”

Today's Prayer

“Lord, help me to leave matters to You that I cannot resolve, and thank You for all You have done for 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.
