Today's Bible Reading

Today's Bible Reading Plan selections can be found below. If you don't have a Bible with you, just click the references to read each passage online:

Old Testament
1 Kings 9-10  —  8.0 minutes

New Testament

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 73:6-12
We all want to know if God cares. When the wicked seem to prosper and the righteous suffer, we wonder why, and does God know? Of course He does! II Timothy 2:12 says “if we suffer, we shall reign.” The last chapter has not been written as yet. We must trust the Lord even in the very difficult times.

The pride of the wicked – verses 6-7
The proclamations of the wicked – verses 8-9
The problem of His people – verses 10-11
The prosperity of the ungodly – verse 12

I have seen this issue all over the world, and I confess that I do not understand. God’s people are suffering everywhere; many are being killed for the faith – the persecution is unbelievable in many places. It is easy to ask “Where is God?” But, God is working out His plan, and those who love Him will be rewarded greatly in His future kingdom.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 11 – “And they say, ‘How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?”

Today's Prayer

“When I see the suffering of Your people, Lord, I am thankful that You promise us future hope and reward.”

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.
