Today's Bible Reading

November 3, 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 9-12  —  8.0 minutes
Job 3  —  4.5 minutes

New Testament
John 8:1-11  —  2.5 minutes
2 Peter 2:1-9  —  2.5 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 119:97-104​
The Hebrew letter mem begins each sentence and the first word of the sentence, and near the end of these eight verses, the psalmist emphasizes the sweetness of God’s word. Its sweetness flows from its concentration on Who God is and what God can do, and the beauty and majesty of it centers in the lovely Messiah (Psalm 45). It is sweet to our emotional life when it reveals how God will deliver us from all our troubles; it is sweet to our spiritual understanding when we see how God is working His wonderful plan in our lives. The word of God is indeed “sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb (Psalm 19:10).”

1. It brings a loving response – verses 97 and 103
2. It provides a tremendous resource – verses 98-100
3. It develops a personal restraint – verses 101-102
4. It produces a godly result – verse 104

In many ways, verse 97 is the theme of this daily devotional book – “O how I love Thy law! It is my MEDITATION all the day.” The importance of God’s Word in the life of the believer cannot be overstated. It is crucial to our understanding, our maturity, our productivity, and our lifestyle.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 103 – “How sweet are Thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”
