Today's Bible Reading

July 20
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 20-21  —  7.5 minutes
Psalms 145  —  3.5 minutes

New Testament
Luke 11:37-54  —  4.5 minutes
2 Thessalonians 1:8-12  —  1.5 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 17.0 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​

Read Psalm 89:7-13
This psalm of praise about God’s faithfulness includes strong words that there is no one like our God! It exalts in His power, and speaks pointedly about what God has done and is, therefore, capable of doing. When we are tempted to question what God is doing, or doubt what He is willing or able to do, we need to be reminded quickly that His power is greater than any other, and all of creation belongs to Him!

1. The reverence that belongs only to God – verse 7
2. The realization that there is no one like Him – verse 8
3. The rule of God over His creation – verse 9
4. The recognition of His victories – verse 10
5. The rejoicing of His creation – verses 11-12
6. The reminder of His strength – verse 13

Nothing so calms our hearts as the knowledge that God is in control and has the power we need for every circumstance we face. How we need to trust in the Lord and His power and faithfulness!
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 8 – “O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto Thee? or to Thy faithfulness round about Thee?”
