Today's Bible Reading

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 44:18-26:
The cry for help is a common one – not always is the answer given that we wanted. God’s timing is quite different from ours. The psalmist is very aware that God knows everything he is experiencing and more. He has not forgotten the name of God, and simply wonders why there is no answer from the Lord. We all need to learn that God has not forsaken us and that He does hear us. Our job is to wait on Him – His way is always best and perfect – just what we really need!
  1. He reviews his commitment to God – verses 18-20
  2. He reminds us that God knows it all – verse 22
  3. He remembers what the believer faces – verse 23
  4. He reflects on his present condition – verses 24-25
  5. He responds to the mercy of God – verse 26
May we never forget that God is our Help, and that because of His mercies, He will never forsake us.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 21 – “Shall not God search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.”

Today's Prayer

“Thank You, Lord, that You hear me even when I don’t think You do.”
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.
