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 meditating on and declaring God's Word. The first reading each day is about the Word and the second passage is for you to meditate and reflect upon 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.

Joshua 1:7-9

7“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Ephesians 1:3-14

Blessed with every spiritual blessing3Give praise to Him, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. For He has blessed us through our life in Christ with every spiritual blessing that belongs to His heavenly Kingdom.4-5This is because He chose us before He created the world to belong to Christ, to be made holy and blameless in His sight. Because of this amazing love, He decided that we should be adopted as His sons when we place our faith in Jesus Christ. Yes, this was His purpose and even His joy!6Why should He do such a thing? Because this causes His people to praise Him for His glorious grace, that which He gives freely to those who deserve nothing from Him. All this grace He has given us in Jesus, the Son whom He loves.Chosen to belong to Christ7-8In Christ we have been redeemed. With His own blood He has made it possible for all our sins to be forgiven and so has purchased us with the price of His blood, so that now we belong to Him. All this is the result of the immense riches of God's grace that He has lavished on us. Yes, He has given us wisdom to receive His grace and to understand the wonderful ways in which He has blessed us.9He has even made His will known to us. Although this remains a mystery to others, it has been His good pleasure to reveal His purposes to those who now live in Christ.10His purposes will only be fully realised when time as we now know it will have reached its climax. Then we shall see that God has brought everything in heaven and on earth together under the headship and authority of Christ.11We were chosen to belong to Him. This was God's plan from the beginning, and He works out everything so His will and His purposes are completely fulfilled.12All this is so that we who first put our hope in Christ might live for His praise and glory.13But you also, like us, were placed in Christ when you heard the truth of the gospel of salvation and believed. Then He marked you in a very special way by placing His personal seal upon you: He gave you His own promised Holy Spirit to live within you.14The gift of His Spirit is a deposit from God that guarantees our inheritance and keeps us as those who are His possession, living in the power of His redeeming love. Yes, that we might live for His praise and glory!
