Today's Bible Reading

Our Bible Reading Plan runs from the 1st to the 25th of each month.
​
The next reading will be on the 1st of next month. Check back then!

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 109:1-5
David was criticized greatly and attacked often. It is never easy, and it hurts deeply. The jealousy and envy of others, the judgmental attitudes, and the refusal to be kind, is indeed hurtful. What David experienced, we still do. Today, the Internet has provided a new means for people to attack others without ever meeting them face to face or earning the right to share what they do. It gives people a feeling of importance and power as they spread rumors and gossip and to seek to destroy another’s reputation and ministry. What do we do about it? Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there! “Vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord,” is the message Paul gave to us in Romans 12:17-21. Don’t ever try to get even! It doesn’t work, and does not come with the blessing of the Lord.

1. The desire for God to intervene – verse 1
2. The deceitfulness of those who speak against him – verse 2
3. The denial that they ever had a righteous cause – verse 3
4. The dependency of prayer alone – verse 4
5. The disappointment in loving others and doing them good – verse 5

Yes, it hurts, and yes, you want to answer back and not only defend yourself, but do some damage to them as well! Well, don’t do it! Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him.
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 29 – “Hold not Your peace, O God of my praise.”
