Today's Bible Reading

September 17, 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 44-45  —  8.0 minutes
Proverbs 26:17-28  —  2.0 minutes

New Testament
Luke 23:32-37  —  1.5 minutes
Hebrews 10:1-18  —  4.0 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 106:34-39
To read of Israel’s idolatry is indeed troubling; but, to argue that we would not do that today is foolish and immature. We see idolatry everywhere. Paul wrote in Colossians 3:5 that “covetousness” is idolatry. We want that which we ought not to have. Our lusts and desires are often consumed with that which destroys, not that which blesses. One of the most important insights in this portion of the psalm is the effect of compromise upon us – they “learned their works (v. 35),” and the results were tragic. May God help us not to compromise with the world around us. We follow a different message – the Word of the living God!
  1. The destruction of the nations did not happen – verse 34
  2. Their disobedience led to compromise – verse 35
  3. Their decision to serve idols cost them greatly – verse 36
  4. The devils to whom they sacrifice – verse 37
  5. Their deeds led to the slaughter of their children – verse 38
  6. The defilement was caused by their own works – verse 39
What a tragic situation! How could the people of God lower themselves to do such terrible things? It all starts with unbelief and rebellion to God and His Word.
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 35 – “But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.”

Today's Prayer

“Lord, I recommit my life to You, and ask for Your help and strength as I seek to stand against all forms of idolatry and compromise with this world.”
