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 11  —  7.5 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

Read Psalm 73:13-17
The psalmist expresses deep emotion over what appears to be the injustices of life – the prosperity of the wicked vs. the suffering of the righteous. Speaking from a purely human perspective, he wonders what good it has been to seek the Lord, be cleansed of his sins, and live godly before the Lord. He also realized that if he told others how he was feeling, they would be offended. Nothing cleared up until he went into the presence of the Lord in the “sanctuary of God.” Then he clearly saw and understood.
  1. His chastening – verses 13-14
  2. His confusion and pain – verses 15-16
  3. His confidence – verse 17
Never think for one moment that things will remain the same as they are now. One day all matters will be resolved, and all of the difficult circumstances of life settled by the King of kings and Lord of lords!
Verse for Meditation: ​Verse 17 – “Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understand I their end.”

Today's Prayer

“Help me, Lord, to trust You when I don’t understand, and it is too painful for me to handle.”
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.
