Today's Bible Reading

​January 18

​Old Testament

Psalms 18:1-25  —  5.0 minutes

New Testament
Matthew 7:15-29  —  3.5 minutes
Acts 10:24-48  —  6.0 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 23.0 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 10:7-12
These verses describe in detail the actions and attitudes of an unbelieving heart. That person believes that God won’t do anything about the wickedness, as verse 11 says “He will never see it.” But, Hebrews 4:13 reminds us that “all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.” David’s prayer is “Arise, O LORD!” God will not forget the righteous and the “humble” in heart before Him!

1. The mouth of the wicked – verse 7
2. The murder of the innocent – verse 8
3. The methods he uses against the poor – verses 9-10
4. The manner in which he reasons – verse 11
5. The message of David to the Lord – verse 12

Our faith is resting in the Lord Who will never forget “the humble.”
Verse for Meditation: Verse 12 – “Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up Thine hand: forget not the humble.”
