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

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 75:1-10
The psalmist Asaph speaks of giving thanks to the Lord and reminds us that He is the Judge of all the earth, and God’s righteousness will prevail and the wicked will be punished. The habit of giving thanks to God for these issues is probably not the average believer’s practice; but it is the desire of God Himself. I Thessalonians 5:18 tells us to “give thanks in everything for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
  1. The instruction to give thanks – verse 1
  2. The indication of what the future holds – verses 2-3
  3. The importance of not promoting yourself – verses 4-7
  4. The impact of the Lord’s judgment – verse 8
  5. The intention to praise the Lord forever – verses 9-10
Yes, in the “hand of the LORD” there is a “cup.” That “cup” is full of God’s coming judgment upon a wicked world. There is hope for today as well as for tomorrow!
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 9 – “But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.”

Today's Prayer

“Thank You, Lord, for making it clear that You are in charge of all things, and that Your judgment on the wicked will come one day.”
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.
