Today's Bible Reading

​January 24

Old Testament
Genesis 49  —  8.0 minutes
Psalms 22:12-31  —  4.0 minutes

New Testament
Matthew 9:27-38  —  2.5 minutes
Acts 14  —  6.5 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 21.0 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 15:1-5
What a great outline of a godly person! David states three positive attributes in verse 2, and then lists eight characteristics that will not be practiced in the life of one who loves the Lord and walks with Him. Study them carefully – are they really evident in our lives? Would others say this about us? Issues of pride, gossip, greed, bitterness, etc. – have no place in the life of one who walks with the Lord!

1. The abiding in the Lord’s presence – verse 1
2. The assurance of the godly – verse 2
3. The actions that prove our commitment – verses 3-5a
4. The answer to the question of verse one – verse 5b

The stability we all desperately need is found in the godly lifestyle being described. If we are found practicing these things, then the conclusion we draw is that we “shall never be moved.”
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 2 – “He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh truth in his heart.”
