Today's Bible Reading

August 16, 2020
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
Nehemiah 10  —  7.0 minutes
Proverbs 13:1-12  —  2.0 minutes

New Testament
Luke 18:9-17  —  2.5 minutes
2 Timothy 3:10-17  —  2.0 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 13.5 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

Psalm 99:6-9
The key verses of Psalm 99 are found in verse 5 and in verse 9 –almost the same wording – “Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; for the LORD our God is holy.” The holiness of God means that He is separate from sin, of course, but it also means that He is separate from that which He created. The emphasis in the first five verses is on the greatness of our God; the primary focus in this portion of the psalm is how God answers those who call upon His Name. In either case, He is to be exalted!
  1. The calling upon His Name – verse 6
  2. The communication of the Lord to those who call upon His Name – verse 7
  3. The characteristic of our God to those who call upon His Name – verse 8
  4. The commitment to exalt His Name and worship Him – verse 9
It is to our own hurt that we fail to call upon the Lord. The One Who is above all stands ready to forgive and to answer. We are to praise, exalt, tremble, worship, and call upon Him.
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 6 – “Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among them that call upon His Name; they called upon the LORD, and He answered them.”

Today's Prayer

“I exalt You, O Lord, and worship You alone, and express my thanks to You for Your faithfulness and forgiveness, and willingness to answer my cries.”
