Psalms 55  —  4.5 minutes

New Testament
Matthew 23:25-39  —  3.5 minutes
Romans 6:1-14  —  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 34:8-14
The blessings which the Lord desires to bestow upon His children will come to those who “fear the LORD” and “seek the LORD.” God promises in this passage to supply all our need (cf. Philippians 4:19). The psalmist describes in the last three verses what it means to “fear the LORD.” Many of us are suffering in our walk with the Lord because we do not look to Him to meet our needs, but rather to our own ingenuity, resources, circumstances, family, or friends. May God open our eyes!

1. The tasting of the Lord’s goodness – verse 8a
2. The trusting that leads to His blessing – verse 8b
3. The things God provides to those who fear Him – verses 9-10
4. The teaching about the fear of the Lord – verses 11-12
5. The talk that leads to sin – verse 13
6. The temptation to do what is evil instead of that which is good – verse 14

The quality of our lives is uniquely intertwined with our sense of accountability to God. To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge (Proverbs 1:7; 9:10).
Verse for Meditation:​ Verse 8 – “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.”
