Today's Bible Reading

December 11

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
Hosea 7-9  —  7.5 minutes
Job 33:1-11  —  2.0 minutes

New Testament
John 17:6-19  —  3.5 minutes
Revelation 8  —  4.0 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 17.0 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 139:19-24
The attributes of God will strengthen our resolve to trust the Lord rather than ourselves. All of the wicked will be dealt with by God, and we can leave those matters to Him. The important thing for each of us is to examine our own hearts and get rid of any “wicked way” that may be troubling our walk with the Lord. It isn’t our perspective that we need, but His. The psalmist says “Search me, O God.” That is what we need! Hebrews 4:13 reminds us that “ALL things” are “naked and open” unto the knowledge of our God. We cannot hide from Him.

1. The slaying of the wicked – verse 19
2. The speaking of the wicked against God – verse 20
3. The sympathy of the righteous with God – verse 21
4. The strength of the believer’s relationship to God – verse 22
5. The searching of the believer’s heart – verses 23-24

Our thoughts are known to God, and the honesty of our hearts is important to our relationship to Him. Nothing is so sweet as a clean heart and a clean conscience before God.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 21 – “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts.”
