Today's Bible Reading

October 6
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
Jeremiah 12-13  —  8.0 minutes
Ecclesiastes 4  —  4.0 minutes

New Testament
John 2:1-11  —  2.5 minutes
James 3:1-12  —  3.0 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 17.5 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 112:1-5
This psalm focuses on the identity of a “good man.” He is one who “feareth the LORD” and “delighteth greatly in His commandments.” The “fear of the Lord” is parallel to the “knowledge of the Holy One” (Proverbs 9:10). It is a knowledge that not only believes in Who God is, but responds readily to everything God commands. Hebrews 11:6 says that “without faith it is impossible to please God.” That verse goes on to remind us that when we come to God we must believe that He is, and that He rewards those who “diligently seek” Him.

1. The man who fears the Lord – verse 1
2. The might which he will display – verse 2
3. The manner in which he will be blessed – verse 3
4. The marvel of God’s character in his life – verse 4
5. The methods by which he demonstrates his godly character – verse 5

A godly lifestyle supersedes all other human pursuits and it is rooted in the man who “feareth the LORD.” Never substitute worldly fame, position, or success, for the blessing of the Lord.
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 5 – “A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
