Today's Bible Reading

February 1

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
Exodus 1-3  —  8.0 minutes
Psalms 24  —  2.0 minutes

New Testament
Matthew 10:21-42  —  5.5 minutes
Acts 15:22-41  —  4.5 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 20.0 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 18:24-31
The Lord returns His blessing upon those who have shown mercy, uprightness, and purity (vv. 24-26). It is a serious reminder to all of us how much God hates pride when we read the last phrase of verse 27 that He will “bring down high looks.” The Lord is the protection and the guide in times of darkness and difficulties – “He is a buckler to all those that trust in Him.”

1. The recompense of the Lord – verse 24
2. The recognition of how the Lord rewards us – verses 25-27
3. The results which the godly experience – verses 28-29
4. The resources of the Lord – verse 30
5. The response of a believing heart – verse 31

Knowing what David has said about the Lord and His ways, we cannot help but join with him in expressing the words of verse 31 – “For who is God save the LORD?” There are no other acceptable claims – only the LORD!
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 31 – “For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?”
