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.

Proverbs 4:1-13

1Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding.2I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching.3For I too was a son to my father, still tender, and cherished by my mother.4Then he taught me, and he said to me, “Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live.5Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them.6Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.7The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.8Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.9She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.” 10Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many.11I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.12When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.13Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.

Colossians 1:15-23

Christ supreme over all15-16Jesus Christ is exactly like His Father, who remains invisible to us. He is God's firstborn, with authority to rule over all creation because everything was created by Him, whether in heaven or on earth, both the visible and invisible, every ruling power and authority. Yes, everything was created by Him and for His purposes.17So the Son has pre-eminence above all that has been created, for He existed before creation began and only in Him is everything ­sustained.18He is the Head of His Body, the church, for He was the first to rise from the dead, so that having conquered everything that opposed God's purposes He should now have supremacy over all things.Reconciled to God through Christ19-20You see, it was God's good purpose to place the fullness of His life in His Son so that through His life, death and resurrection, everything on earth could be brought back to His will and made one with all that is in heaven. And all this has been made possible through the cross, for through the shedding of His blood the Son has made peace between God and man.21You used to be separated from God. You were His enemies because of the ways you thought and believed, which were evil in His sight.22But now, through what Christ endured in His physical body, you have been reconciled to God so that you are now one with Him. It is through His death that He has made you holy before God, and it is Christ who will one day present you to His Father perfect, free from any accusation the devil could bring against you.23However, for Him to complete this purpose you have to persist in your faith, allowing nothing to shake your trust in Him, so that you attain the hope you have received through the gospel, your rich inheritance in heaven. This is the good news you heard at the beginning of your Christian walk, the hope that is held out to the whole of creation. And I, Paul, have become a servant of this wonderful gospel!
