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 4-6  —  8.5 minutes
Psalms 25  —  3.5 minutes

New Testament
Matthew 11:1-19  —  4.0 minutes
Acts 16:1-15  —  4.0 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 18:32-42
David expresses His confidence in the Lord for the battles He must face. He begins in verse 32 with the strength He needs from the Lord. It is the Lord Who will make him ready for battle. It is the Lord Who will support him and sustain him when being attacked. David acknowledges that the victories he has won have come from the resources which the Lord has provided to him. Have we learned that principle?

1. The strength of the Lord – verses 32-35
2. The stability of the Lord – verse 36
3. The subduing of our enemies – verses 37-42

One of the fascinating things about David’s words concerning the victories which the Lord had made possible is his statement in verse 41 about the cry of the wicked for deliverance, and David says, “and He answered them not.” The Lord’s ears are open to the cries of the righteous, but our sin and wicked ways will always hinder the Lord from responding.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 36 – “Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.”
