Today's Bible Reading

February 5

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 13-15  —  8.0 minutes
Psalms 28  —  2.5 minutes

New Testament
Matthew 12:22-37  —  4.0 minutes
Acts 17:16-34  —  5.0 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 19.5 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 19:7-14
There are six descriptions of God’s Word in these verses, and we are told how valuable they are to our lives. May we never assume that we can function in this world without instruction from the Lord. Through God’s Word we are warned, cleansed, and protected. When we meditate on His Word, our own words become pleasing in the sight of the Lord.

1. The results that God’s Word will cause – verses 7-9
2. The realization of their value – verse 10
3. The reward which they bring – verse 11
4. The requests for purity and acceptability before God – verses 12-14

The psalmist makes the point that we do not understand our “errors” and that we have “secret faults” and “presumptuous sins.” God’s Word in our hearts and on our lips provides the cleaning we need.
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 14– “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my Redeemer.”
