Today's Bible Reading

September 2, 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
Isaiah 3-5  —  8.0 minutes
Proverbs 19:1-14  —  2.5 minutes

New Testament
Luke 20:41-47  —  1.5 minutes
Hebrews 1:10-14  —  1.5 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 104:24-30
The wonderful processes of nature and our environment are created and controlled by God. It is something about which we can get excited! This portion emphasizes strongly the works and wisdom of God. It should lead us to praise Him daily! The last two verses remind us of the brevity of our lives, and the power of God’s Spirit to create and renew. We are reminded by way of illustration to wait upon the Lord and trust Him fully to meet all of our needs.

1. The exaltation of God’s works and wisdom – verse 24
2. The enormity of God’s creatures in the sea – verse 25
3. The extent to which the sea is used – verse 26
4. The expectancy of the creatures in the sea – verses 27-28
5. The end of their lives in the hand of God – verse 29
6. The essential of God’s Spirit in creation and renewal – verse 30

The oceans of the world are so immense, and the creatures that live in them so innumerable. All created by a wise and loving God. We have great evidence of His power and kindness toward us.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 24 – “O LORD, how manifold are Thy works! in wisdom hast Thou made them all: the earth is full of Thy riches.”
