Today's Bible Reading

​January 6

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
Genesis 15-17  —  8.0 minutes
Psalms 6  —  2.0 minutes

New Testament
Matthew 3:13-17  —  1.5 minutes
Acts 4:1-22  —  5.0 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 16.5 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 5:1-6
The “morning” is usually the best time to meditate on the Lord and to pray. We need to start the day right. David knew that although the Lord hated the workers of iniquity, He took no pleasure in wickedness. His meditation was motivated by this attribute of our Lord. What a wonderful reminder at the end of verse 3 – “and will look up.” Yes, let’s keep looking UP, not at the circumstances around us!

1. The meditation he gave – verse 1
2. The manner in which he gave it – verses 1-2
3. The morning was when he gave it – verse 3
4. The motivation of God that inspired it – verses 4-6

Is your day begun with a special meeting with the Lord Himself? He loves you and wants to hear from you!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 3 – “My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up.”
