Today's Bible Reading

July 19
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
2 Chronicles 17-19  —  7.5 minutes
Psalms 144  —  3.5 minutes

New Testament

2 Thessalonians 1:1-7  —  2.0 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 15.5 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 89:1-6
The psalm centers on the faithfulness of God. What a wonderful theme and attribute! We can count on Him in every situation of life – He will never forsake us! The special emphasis of this psalm is God’s covenant with His people Israel. He will not cast them away, no matter what they do! What encouragement it is to our own hearts!

1. The expression of praising God’s mercies and faithfulness – verse 1
2. The evidence of His faithfulness in the heavens – verse 2
3. The explanation behind His faithfulness – verse 3
4. The establishment of His people and throne – verse 4
5. The extent of praising His faithfulness – verse 5
6. The exaltation of the LORD Himself – verse 6

This portion of God’s Word causes us to shout and sing unto our God! His faithfulness is everywhere, and we can count on Him to fulfill His Word!
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 1 – “I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness to all generations.”

Today's Prayer

“Thank You, Lord, for Your mercies and Your faithfulness; You will never forsake Your children.”

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.
