Today's Bible Reading

​January 15

Old Testament
Genesis 34-35  —  8.0 minutes
Psalms 15  —  1.0 minute

New Testament
Matthew 6:16-24  —  2.5 minutes
Acts 9:1-19  —  5.0 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 16.5 minutes

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 9:9-14
In these few verses we have such comfort and encouragement for our hearts. The Lord has not forsaken us, and He is our Refuge! David cries to the Lord for mercy and that He would consider his situation; his purpose in all this, is to “shew forth all Thy praise…” Is that your motive when you cry unto the Lord and seek His face? Help us, Lord, to understand what You want in our prayers!

1. Our Refuge in time of trouble – verse 9
2. Our reliance upon the One Who has not forsaken us – verse 10
3. Our response to the One Who never forgets our cry – verses 11-12
4. The reason behind our cry for mercy – verses 13-14

Thank the Lord today that He never forsakes or forgets you – He hears your cry and knows all about what you need!
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 10 – “And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for Thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.”
