​
Old Testament
Numbers 5-6  —  8.0 minutes
Psalms 50  —  4.5 minutes

New Testament
Matthew 22:1-14  —  3.0 minutes
Romans 2  —  6.5 minutes

Total Average Read Time — 22.0 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 32:6-11
The joy of knowing the Lord’s forgiveness far outweighs the delusion of covering our sin, thinking that no one will ever know. David expresses what a privilege it is to confess our sin to the Lord, and find that He becomes our “hiding place.” David warns us about stubbornness and refusing to respond to the Lord (v. 9). The Lord has promised to protect, deliver, instruct, teach, guide, and fill our hearts with His joy!

1. The access we have to the Lord – verse 6
2. The assurance of the Lord’s protection and guidance – verses 7-8
3. The attitude which is dangerous – verse 9
4. The application that is needed – verse 10
5. The adoration which will result – verse 11

When we trust in the Lord, confessing our sins before Him, God rewards us with His guidance, mercy, and joy. Proverbs 28:13 says “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.”
Verse for Meditation: Verse 7 – “Thou art my hiding place; Thou shalt preserve me from trouble; Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.”
