November 1, 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
Ezekiel 1-3  —  8.0 minutes
Job 1  —  6.5 minutes

New Testament
John 7:37-44  —  2.0 minutes
2 Peter 1:1-11  —  2.5 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 19.0 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 119:81-88
The 11 th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, caph, is a curved letter, like a reverse “C” in English. It pictures one bowing down in repentance. The key words are found in verse 86 – “help Thou me.” We constantly need the help of the Lord. Hebrews 4:16 invites us to come to the “throne of grace” where we can find “mercy and grace to help in time of need.” The psalmist refers to the pressures and attacks that he is under, and is calling out to God for help. The Lord never gets tired of us saying “help.”

1. His perspective of God’s Word – verses 81-83 (1) He was confident in spite of personal weakness – verse 81 (2) He was concerned because of his failure to see God’s comfort in his circumstances – verse 82 (3) He was committed in spite of his personal discouragement – verse 83
2. His problem with God’s timing – verse 84
3. His plea for God’s intervention – verses 85-87
4. His prayer for personal revival – verse 88

The words that ought to stay with us from verse 81 are “but I HOPE in Thy word.” Our dependency is upon the Lord and His word.
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 86 – “All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help Thou me.”
