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 91:1-8
The blessing of the Lord’s presence and protection is developed in this wonderful psalm. There are so many situations that make us anxious and fearful, and it is easy to forget that the Lord is our “Refuge” and “Fortress.” Plague and pestilence, disaster and danger, gossip and false accusation, etc. – all these can disturb our emotional balance and confidence. Never ignore the truth that the Lord will never leave you or forsake you – He is there – always!

The dwelling in His presence – verse 1
The dependency upon the Lord – verse 2
The deliverance He promises – verses 3-4
The darkness He penetrates – verses 5-6
The destiny to which He will bring us – verses 7-8

We really have no reason to be afraid – EVER! The Lord is with us and has promised to deliver us. Even if death is on our agenda, we will enter His presence and experience “fullness of joy”!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 1 – “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”

Today's Prayer

“Your presence is all I need to combat all the fears and anxieties I experience.”
