Going deeper...to go further

Daily Bible reading strengthens our relationship with God, nourishes our spirits and equips us to live a fruitful, effective life for Him.

This month we're looking at the different things Paul writes about in Romans chapter 12 which we encourage you to read regularly throughout the month. To help unpack the truths found in this chapter we've put some passages that you can meditate on alongside this to help you apply the Word to your life. As we read the Word it’s important that we apply what we read and pray it out over our lives. One of the way you can do this is by using the acronym SOAP. To find out more about SOAP watch this video.

Below you’ll see what we’re reading today. To go forward or back a day in our reading plan use the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons.

Ephesians 6:10-18

Your spiritual armour10Above all, be strong in your faith and dependence on the Lord, on His might and power.11He has provided His protection for you in several ways. Clothed with His gifts and resources, you will be able to stand against all the devil's disruptive tactics.12Your battle is not against people but against the negative spiritual forces that influence and control them; against the spiritual rulers, authorities and powers that are at work in this world that is in bondage to the darkness of sin. They are in league with those evil spiritual forces that exist outside the world.13So accept everything God has made available to you, to enable you to stand steadfast when evil attacks. Yes, no matter what happens you are able to stand firm and to remain standing.14You stand firm with His truth like a belt you keep around your waist for support. His righteousness is like a breastplate that protects you.15You wear the shoes of the gospel so that you are always ready for any eventuality and can walk in peace.16Your faith is like a shield that you have to take hold of and that enables you to overcome anything the devil throws at you.17The assurance of your salvation is like a protective helmet, enabling you to counter all the devil's lies and efforts to deceive you in your thinking.18You have, not only a defensive shield, but an offensive weapon, the sword of the Spirit which is God's Word. Whenever you pray, depend on the Spirit to lead you and fill your prayer with His life and power, no matter what you are asking of God. How important to pray in the Spirit continually for all your fellow believers.

Psalm 146

1Praise the Lord.Praise the Lord, my soul. 2I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.3Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save.4When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.5Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God. 6He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them— he remains faithful forever.7He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry.The Lord sets prisoners free,8the Lord gives sight to the blind,the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the righteous.9The Lord watches over the foreigner and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked. 10The Lord reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations.Praise the Lord.
