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 45:1-5
This psalm is a beautiful and powerful tribute to the Messiah, the King of kings. The writer is reflecting on the glory and beauty of our blessed Lord, and verses in this psalm are used in the New Testament of our Lord Jesus Christ. When things look dark and difficult all around you – lift up your head…your redemption is drawing near – Jesus is coming!
  1. The anticipation of what he is about to say – verse 1
  2. The adoration he expresses to the Messiah – verse 2
  3. The ability which the coming Messiah king will have – verses 3-4
  4. The arrows which the Messiah will use against His enemies – verse 5
Nothing lifts your heart more than remembering that our Lord shall return in power and glory – His majesty and beauty far surpasses anything we have ever known!
Verse for Meditation: Verse 2 – “Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into Thy lips: therefore God hath blessed Thee for ever.”

Today's Prayer

“May that day of glory and majesty of Your coming be the joyful anticipation of my heart throughout this day and until You come!”
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.
