Today's Bible Reading

February 16

Old Testament
Leviticus 1-4  —  8.0 minutes
Psalms 38  —  4.0 minutes

New Testament
Matthew 17:1-13  —  3.0 minutes
Acts 23:12-35  —  6.5 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 21.5 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 25:1-7

This is a wonderful prayer for every one of us to pray daily. To “lift up” one’s “soul” is to direct our hearts, desires, and needs to the only One Who can do anything about it. The key to an effective prayer life is found in the simple words of verse 2 – “I trust in Thee.” Our complete confidence in the Lord will drive us to our knees often as we cry out for His help and power.

1. A prayer for deliverance – verses 1-3
2. A prayer for direction – verses 4-5
3. A prayer for dedication – verses 6-7

The psalmist pleads with the Lord not to remember his past sins, but rather to remember His “tender mercies” and “lovingkindnesses.” No matter what you have done in the past, God is able to forgive, cleanse, and restore. It is His “goodness” that leads us to repentance.
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 5 – “Lead me in Thy truth, and teach me: for Thou art the God of my salvation; on Thee do I wait all the day.”
