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 90:7-12
After telling us in the opening verses of this psalm that God is not subject to our time schedules, and that He is the eternal God, the psalmist relates it all to the days of our lives and how God’s anger and wrath troubles us because of our sins. We experience in this life the consequences of our sinful decisions and actions. The “punchline” is in verse 12 when he says “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” How true that is! Since life is short, we need to make our days count for His glory.

1. The consuming of God’s anger – verse 7
2. The countenance of God that sees all – verse 8
3. The cutting off of our days – verses 9-10
4. The comprehension of God’s anger – verse 11
5. The conclusion to which we must come – verse 12

It seems only “yesterday” that we were children. It seems only a brief time when we raised our families, only to see their children as well. Where has the time gone? May God give us wisdom.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 12 – “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”

Today's Prayer

“Thank You, Lord, for reminding me of the brevity of my life, and the importance of Your wisdom.”

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.
