Today's Bible Reading

September 20, 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 51-53  —  8.0 minutes
Proverbs 28:1-14  —  3.0 minutes

New Testament
Luke 23:50-56  —  1.5 minutes
Hebrews 11:17-31  —  3.5 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 16.0 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 107:1-8
This psalm was meant to be sung. It has a beautiful refrain in verses 8, 15, 21, and 31 – an admonition to praise the Lord for His goodness and His wonderful works. In the opening verse of this song, the emphasis is on praising the Lord and giving thanks for how He has delivered His people from the difficulties of the wilderness. Perhaps you find yourself in a difficult time, and you wonder if God knows, cares, and will help. Be assured that the Lord that is praised in his portion is the One Who still delivers – call upon Him!

1. The character of the Lord – “He is good” – verse 1
2. The captivity from which they were delivered – verses 2-3
3. The circumstances of the wilderness – verses 4-5
4. Their cry unto the Lord – verse 6
5. The city to which He led them – verse 7
6. The call to praise the Lord – verse 8

God is so good, and He hears our cries. His mercy endures forever, and He does “wonderful works to the children of men.” Respond right now with praise to our God, and thank Him for all He has done for you!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 8 – “Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men.”
