Today's Bible Reading

​January 28

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 17:8-15
The “apple of the eye” is a beautiful way to describe the believer’s place before God. In other words, David prays that he will never be “out of sight” in the Lord’s plans. He finds great refuge and peace in saying, “hide me under the shadow of Thy wings.”

1. His desire for God’s protection – verse 8
2. His description of his enemies – verses 9-12
3. The deliverance he needs from the Lord – verses 13-14
4. His dependency upon the Lord – verse 15

His descriptions of his enemies are quite graphic and reveal how large they loomed in his mind and heart. It is difficult to deal with the world around us, especially when their attacks are present in our lives now. But, once again, our confidence must be in the Lord and His protection and deliverance.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 8 – “Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of Thy wings.”
