Today's Bible Reading

Our Bible Reading Plan runs from the 1st to the 25th of each month.
The next reading will be on the 1st of next month. Check back then!

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 79:8-13
This latter portion of the psalm is an urgent prayer to God for His help. There is much in life that is hard to understand. The attacks of the enemy, the accusations of others, the way the wicked continue to prosper and control, are but a few of them. Life is filled with much pain, frequent disappointments, and unresolved difficulties. All of this should drive us to our knees and to cry unto God Who alone understands and is working all things for our good and His glory.

1. The plea for God to forget the past – verse 8
2. The purging of sin that is needed – verse 9
3. The punishment of the wicked for what they have done – verse 10
4. The preservation of those who have suffered – verse 11
5. The prayer for God’s revenge – verse 12
6. The praise that will be shown to all generations – verse 13

In the final analysis, we must leave matters in the hands of the Lord. Our task is to give Him thanks and to praise Him forever.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 13 – “So we Thy people and sheep of Thy pasture will give Thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth Thy praise to all generations.”
