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.

2 Thessalonians 2

The coming of the lawless one1We ask you, brothers, not to be disturbed or upset about what will happen when our Lord Jesus Christ comes again, or how we will be gathered up to meet Him.2Reject any spirit, teaching or letter that is supposed to come from us suggesting that the Day of the Lord has come already.3Let no one deceive you in any way. First the rebellion has to take place, when the man of lawlessness is revealed, the one who is destined for destruction.4He opposes the truth and exalts himself above everything associated with God. He presumes to sit in God's holy sanctuary, wants to be worshipped and even declares himself to be God.5Surely you remember that I told you about this while I was still with you!6And now you know what is restraining him so that he will not be revealed until the right time.7This lawlessness is already working secretly and the power that restrains it will continue to do so until it is time for that restraint to be removed.8Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will destroy with the breath of His mouth, bringing him to nothing by the glory of His coming.9The coming of the lawless one will be the work of satan and will be accompanied by all kinds of false miracles, signs and wonders.10His wickedness will deceive those who are perishing because they have refused to love the truth and so have not received salvation.11-12So God sends on them a powerful delusion causing them to believe a lie, so that all may be condemned who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in what is evil.Stand firm and hold onto the truth13We ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved, by the work of the Spirit who makes you holy and through faith in the truth.14To this salvation He called you through our gospel, so that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.15So then, brothers, stand firm and hold onto what we taught you, either by word of mouth or by letter.16-17May the Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave us through His grace eternal strength and good hope, now strengthen your hearts and establish you in every good deed and word.

1 Samuel 11

1Nahash the Ammonite went up and besieged Jabesh Gilead. And all the men of Jabesh said to him, “Make a treaty with us, and we will be subject to you.” 2But Nahash the Ammonite replied, “I will make a treaty with you only on the condition that I gouge out the right eye of every one of you and so bring disgrace on all Israel.” 3The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days so we can send messengers throughout Israel; if no one comes to rescue us, we will surrender to you.” 4When the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and reported these terms to the people, they all wept aloud. 5Just then Saul was returning from the fields, behind his oxen, and he asked, “What is wrong with everyone? Why are they weeping?” Then they repeated to him what the men of Jabesh had said. 6When Saul heard their words, the Spirit of God came powerfully upon him, and he burned with anger. 7He took a pair of oxen, cut them into pieces, and sent the pieces by messengers throughout Israel, proclaiming, “This is what will be done to the oxen of anyone who does not follow Saul and Samuel.” Then the terror of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out together as one. 8When Saul mustered them at Bezek, the men of Israel numbered three hundred thousand and those of Judah thirty thousand. 9They told the messengers who had come, “Say to the men of Jabesh Gilead, ‘By the time the sun is hot tomorrow, you will be rescued.’” When the messengers went and reported this to the men of Jabesh, they were elated. 10They said to the Ammonites, “Tomorrow we will surrender to you, and you can do to us whatever you like.” 11The next day Saul separated his men into three divisions; during the last watch of the night they broke into the camp of the Ammonites and slaughtered them until the heat of the day. Those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.12The people then said to Samuel, “Who was it that asked, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ Turn these men over to us so that we may put them to death.” 13But Saul said, “No one will be put to death today, for this day the Lord has rescued Israel.” 14Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us go to Gilgal and there renew the kingship.” 15So all the people went to Gilgal and made Saul king in the presence of the Lord. There they sacrificed fellowship offerings before the Lord, and Saul and all the Israelites held a great celebration.
