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 32:1-5
There is no issue so important to the heart of the believer as the need of our forgiveness when we have sinned against the Lord. We need clean hearts and clean minds in order to serve the Lord with joy and blessing. David’s heart for God is definitely seen in his broken spirit, and in the way he confessed his sin before God. I John 1:9 says “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

1. The blessing of forgiveness – verses 1-2
2. The burden of our sin – verses 3-4
3. The brokenness which is needed – verse 5

When we fail to confess and acknowledge our sins before the Lord, we experience (if we are truly born again!) the pain and inward turmoil that David describes in this passage. He is very clear that God’s forgiveness is dependent upon our clear confession of sin. Perhaps right now would be an excellent time for all of us to take our burden to the Lord, confessing our sin, and receiving His wonderful forgiveness!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 1 – “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.”
