Today's Bible Reading

February 3

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 7-9  —  8.0 minutes
Psalms 26  —  2.0 minutes

New Testament
Matthew 11:20-30  —  3.0 minutes
Acts 16:16-40  —  6.0 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 18:43-50
David’s final thoughts in this chapter are centered in the deliverance of the Lord, and the expression of praise to Him for what He has done. It should be on our lips every day – praise to our God for what He has done for us! Why not make a list of how the Lord has delivered you!

1. The dominion which David will have – verses 43-45
2. The declaration of the Lord’s presence and exaltation – verse 46
3. The deliverance which the Lord will give – verses 47-50

The deliverance of the Lord brought great rejoicing and giving of thanks from David. The practice of giving thanks “among the heathen” is rarely practiced by believers today. Some of us have forgotten simply to bow our heads at meal times and thank the Lord Who has made it all possible! David was very aware that God had shown him great mercy as well as great deliverance!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 46 – “The LORD liveth; and blessed be my Rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.”
