Today's Bible Reading

November 15, 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 38-39  —  8.0 minutes
Job 14  —  4.5 minutes

New Testament
John 11:17-37  —  4.0 minutes
1 John 3:11-18  —  2.0 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 18.5 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 122:1-4
Jerusalem is mentioned 118 times in the Bible and is the most important city in the world. It is the eternal capital of Israel and the place where God has chosen to put His Name forever! There is a Jerusalem on earth and there is a “heavenly Jerusalem” that will one day be set up on earth wherein righteousness will dwell. The “heavenly” city is called “The New Jerusalem,” and it is the eternal dwelling place of God’s people. There will be no night there – the Lord God and the Lamb of God, our Messiah, will be all the light we will need. While we wait for that blessed day to come, we have the earthly Jerusalem to understand. Its “holy sites” are sacred to Jews, Muslims, and Christians. Some want it to be an “international city.” However, the Bible teaches that it belongs to Israel.

1. The gladness that fills the hearts of those who go to the house of the Lord – verse 1
2. The gates that shall enclose those who come to worship – verse 2
3. The guard which the building of the city provides – verse 3
4. The goal of all the tribes who go to worship – verse 4

Going up to Jerusalem meant that you were going to worship and give thanks unto the Name of the Lord. What a lesson for our hearts today, and what a reminder of what will one day be true – all nations will go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord (Zechariah 14:16).
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 1 – “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.”
