Today's Bible Reading

February 7

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 19-20  —  8.0 minutes
Psalms 30  —  2.5 minutes

New Testament
Matthew 13:1-23  —  5.5 minutes
Acts 18:18-28  —  3.0 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 21:1-7
It is very good for us to rehearse how God has blessed us. David’s focus is in the Lord and what he has done to bless him. He says that he has “joy” in the “strength” of the Lord. Do we do that? His concluding remark in this brief section is that the Lord has made him “most blessed for ever.” Why not take a few moments right now and thank the Lord for all His blessings!

1. The rejoicing of king David – verse 1
2. The request that the Lord has heard – verse 2
3. The remembrance of all the Lord’s blessing and goodness – verses 3-4
4. The realization of how the Lord has honored him – verses 5-6
5. The reason for all this blessing – verse 7

May we all rehearse daily the wonderful blessings of the Lord! The “sacrifice of praise” (Hebrews 13:15) is the “giving of thanks to His name.”
Verse for Meditation: Verse 2 – “Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips.”
