Today's Bible Reading

September 13, 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 34-36  —  8.0 minutes
Proverbs 24:23-34  —  2.5 minutes

New Testament
Luke 22:63-71  —  2.0 minutes
Hebrews 8:1-6  —  2.0 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 14.5 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 106:12-16
It is quite amazing to see Israel believing in the Lord, and then immediately turning away from Him. We are no better. We do it often even when we do not recognize that we do. We are so prone to respond to the Lord on the basis of our circumstances. If things are good, we praise Him; but, if things are bad, we complain. The result is very interesting (verse 15) – God met their need, but sent “leanness into their soul.” Their physical hunger was satisfied, but their spiritual hunger grew larger, and their spiritual strength greatly diminished.

1. Their faith was sometimes evident – verse 12
2. Their forgetting was also clear – verse 13
3. Their failure to trust God continued – verse 14
4. Their spiritual food was lacking – verse 15
5. Their following of the leaders was weak – verse 16

We pay a terrible price for ignoring the God Who has promised to supply all of our needs. We can be physically “well-off” but spiritually “starving.”
Verse for Meditation: “They soon forgat His works; they waited not for His counsel.”
