Today's Bible Reading

August 3
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 4-5  —  7.5 minutes
Proverbs 3  —  5.5 minutes

New Testament
Luke 13:22-35  —  4.0 minutes
1 Timothy 2  —  2.5 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 19.5 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 93:1-5
Here is a psalm that exalts in the rulership of our God – He reigns over all! If things seem out of control – don’t ever forget that God not only knows about it, but is using it for His purposes, and He is still in control (Psalm 103:19). Nothing is wasted, and all will bring ultimate glory to Him. His power is great and nothing is too hard for Him to handle. Trust Him with all your heart!

1. The reign of our Lord – verse 1
2. The realization of His eternal nature – verse 2
3. The relationship of the Lord to His creation – verses 3-4
4. The reliability of His Word – verse 5

You can trust what God says – His Word will be fulfilled in every detail. His “testimonies are very sure.”
Verse for Meditation: Verse 1 – “The LORD reigneth, He is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith He hath girded Himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.”
