Today's Bible Reading

August 1
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
Ezra 1-2  —  7.5 minutes
Proverbs 1  —  5.5 minutes

New Testament
Luke 13:1-9  —  2.0 minutes
1 Timothy 1:1-11  —  2.5 minutes
​
Total Average Read Time — 17.5 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 92:1-8
This psalm was intended to be sung, and was designed especially for the Sabbath, the day of rest and worship – the day that was the sign of the covenant God gave to Moses to give to His people Israel. According to Exodus 31:12-18 it was to be an everlasting sign between God and the children of Israel – NOT the Gentiles. It is a reminder to all believers, whether Jewish or Gentile, of the greatness of our God and of the need for us to trust Him, to sing praises to Him, and to worship Him.

1. The singing of God’s people – verse 1
2. The showing forth of God’s attributes – verse 2
3. The strings of praise – verse 3
4. The scope of God’s works that are to be praised – verses 4-5
5. The secret of God’s nature compared with the wicked – verses 6-8

The fool does not understand that the wicked will one day perish in spite of what success they have now. The Lord is the One Who lives forevermore! And, so we all who trust in Him!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 1 – “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto Thy Name, O Most High.”
