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 118:15-21
Psalm 113 to 118 is referred to by Jewish people as the “Hallel,” or the psalms of praise. This portion was sung by the levitical choir on the day of Passover when the lambs were killed in the temple. It speaks of victory and deliverance and focuses on praising the Lord for His salvation. In verse 19 we read, “Open to me the gates of righteousness.” Some apply these words to our Lord’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on the day we call “Palm Sunday.” One thing is for sure – the Lord desires our praise for Who He is and for all He has done for us!
  1. The rejoicing for what the Lord has done – verse 15
  2. The recognition of the Lord’s power – verse 16
  3. The response of the believer – verse 17
  4. The rescue of the believer from chastening – verse 18
  5. The righteous who enter the gate of the Lord – verses 19-20
  6. The result of praise over the Lord’s salvation – verse 21
The words of verse 20 are so encouraging – “for Thou hast heard me.” Remember always that our loving Lord hears our cries to Him. Bring your praise and bring your burdens and call upon Him.
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 19 – “Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD.”
