Today's Bible Verse

Today's Bible Verse:
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. -- Ecclesiastes 12:14
​​
Ponder this Thought:
The Bible is full of stories that show God's grace and love for fallen sinners, but it also shows that there comes a point where he must exercise His judgment. "God is a God of justice, and justice demands judgment. God is also a God of grace." It is crucial then that we as Christians "understand both these divine truths and what they reveal to us about our God."

Today's Bible Reading

Our Bible Reading Plan runs from the 1st to the 25th of each month.
The next reading will be on the 1st of next month. Check back then!
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

Read Psalm 41:6-13:
Within this passage we have the verse that is applied to the betrayal of Jesus by Judas (v. 9). Its original context dealt with the betrayal of Ahithophel, David’s trusted counselor. As the grandfather of Bathsheba, he apparently never forgave David for what he had done. We can all rejoice that our Lord not only forgives, but He will never remember our sins against us anymore.
  1. The attitude of his enemies – verses 6-7
  2. The accusations of his enemies – verse 8
  3. The actions of his friend – verse 9
  4. The appeal to the Lord – verses 10-12
  5. The adoration of the Lord – verse 13
The lessons throughout the past few psalms are clear – we must leave matters in the hands of the Lord, no matter how hurtful they have become. It is not just our enemies that can hurt us, but often it is the one who is described as our “own familiar friend.” May God give us wisdom.

Verse for MeditationVerse 13 – “Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.”​

Today's Prayer

“Lord, when I am being accused or attacked by enemy or friend, help me to leave matters in Your hands.”
Prayer Center     
     As Christians, we are called to pray for God’s guidance and wisdom. We feel it is more imperative than ever for believers to stand together in prayerful unity as the world continues on a downward spiral toward the Tribulation hour. Calamity causes people to waste huge amounts of time fixated on watching the destruction instead of praying for protection and God’s miraculous interventions.
The Bible is filled with verses encouraging us to stay focused on praying for God’s will for our lives; for the safety and wellbeing of our families, ministries and leaders; for the spiritual awakening of the unsaved so they to come to true salvation in Christ; and of course for one another and anything that the Lord places upon our hearts.
    Up to the final moments of our days on earth, until the day of the Rapture of the Church, we are dedicated to be prayer warriors for the cause of Christ. Each Monday we publish prayer needs and invite fellow believers to pray.
