Today's Bible Reading

​Old Testament
Daniel 3-4  —  7.5 minutes
Job 19  —  5.0 minutes

New Testament
John 12:37-50  —  3.0 minutes
2 John 1:1-13  —  3.0 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 127:1-5
This psalm reminds us of how good families are built. They are put together by the Lord Himself. We need to follow His Word, and teach our children the way of the Lord (Proverbs 22:6). These verses speak of the blessing of children. Sometimes we see them as problems or burdens, rather than blessings. It is important to believe what God says and to thank the Lord daily for the gift of children – they are “His reward (verse 3).” Why not take some time today and thank the Lord for your children, and let them know how much you love them and consider them to be great blessings in your life!

1. The recognition of the Lord’s work and protection – verse 1
2. The realization of how we can sleep better – verse 2
3. The reward of children – verse 3
4. The rejoicing over many children – verses 4-5

Our lifestyles in today’s fast-moving culture rarely provide the time to enjoy one’s family. Children suffer greatly from the wrong attitudes and examples of their parents. Gods’ standards will bring the greatest happiness and blessing to your home!
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 1 – “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that built it; except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.”
