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 focusing on verses about building and growing in faith. 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.

Faith

  • We come into a living and vital relationship with God through faith in all that Jesus Christ has done in His cross and resurrection.
  • Trust in God without which it is impossible to please Him.
  • Jesus exercised faith during His ministry and taught His disciples to live by faith.
  • Faith is an on-going, personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
  • Faith is believing God’s Word and therefore putting it into practice, and trusting the Holy Spirit to be our enabler in every situation.
  • Many rewards come through such a faith.

2 Corinthians 12:7-10

7And the Lord ensured I would not be puffed up with pride, for I was given a thorn in my flesh to stop me from being proud because of these great encounters. This thorn was a messenger from satan, someone he sent to torment me.8I pleaded with the Lord on three occasions for this 'thorn' to be taken away.9"My grace is always sufficient to meet your need," He told me; "My power is revealed more perfectly through your weakness!" This is why I am happy to boast about my weaknesses, for then Christ's power will work through me.10Yes, for Christ's sake, I even delight in being so weak, in suffering rejection and hardships, in being persecuted and having to face so many difficulties. For the more I am aware of my own weakness, the more I can depend on His strength.

Psalm 73

A psalm of Asaph.1Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. 2But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold.3For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong.5They are free from common human burdens; they are not plagued by human ills.6Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.7From their callous hearts comes iniquity; their evil imaginations have no limits.8They scoff, and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.9Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.10Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance.11They say, “How would God know? Does the Most High know anything?” 12This is what the wicked are like— always free of care, they go on amassing wealth. 13Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure and have washed my hands in innocence.14All day long I have been afflicted, and every morning brings new punishments. 15If I had spoken out like that, I would have betrayed your children.16When I tried to understand all this, it troubled me deeply17till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny. 18Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin.19How suddenly are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors!20They are like a dream when one awakes; when you arise, Lord, you will despise them as fantasies. 21When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered,22I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you. 23Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.24You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.25Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.26My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. 27Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.28But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.
