Today's Bible Reading

August 24
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
Esther 7-8  —  8.0 minutes
Proverbs 17:1-14  —  2.5 minutes

New Testament
Luke 20:9-19  —  3.0 minutes
Philemon 1:1-11  —  2.0 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 15.5 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 102:23-28
We have a very interesting portion of God’s Word today, as we compare the transitory nature of our lives with the eternal nature of God and His plans and purposes. The psalmist says “He shortened my days (v. 23),” but in v. 26 he says “Thou shalt endure.” He is “the same” and “Thy years have no end.” God is not affected by our limitations, and time does not control Him as it does our lives. The promise he ends with is the permanence of God’s plan for His children. It rests on His abiding faithfulness and character.

1. The failure of our strength – verses 23-24
2. The foundations of the universe that will not endure – verses 25-26
3. The faithfulness of God upon which we can depend – verses 27-28

Everything we now see and depend on in the world of “things” will one day be no more. God will make all things brand new – Revelation 21:5. That one constant that never changes or grows old is the wonderful faithfulness of our God!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 27 – “But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.”
