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.

Psalm 119:9-16

ב Beth9How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.10I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.11I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.12Praise be to you, Lord; teach me your decrees.13With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth.14I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.15I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.16I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.

Philippians 2:1-16

Humility1See what great encouragement you have because you are united with Christ. Look at how you are strengthened by His love for you. And because you live at one with the Spirit, you are tender-hearted and compassionate.2So you will complete my joy if you are united in the way you think, in the love you have for each other and in the way you live in the Spirit to fulfil God's purpose.3To fulfil these aims, be sure never to act out of selfish ambition. And do not be conceited, for that is only empty vanity. Rather, live humbly, thinking that others are better than yourselves.4Yes, you will have to be responsible about your own affairs, but you should be equally concerned about the interests of others around you.5In fact your attitude should reflect that of Christ Jesus Himself:6By nature He is God, but He did not hold onto His divine status of being equal in heaven with the Father.7He was prepared to make Himself nothing, taking the nature of a servant and becoming thoroughly human.8He was a Man in every respect, even though He retained His divinity. Even so, He humbled Himself to such an extent that He obeyed the Father's will, that He should die the death of a criminal on the cross.9Because of His obedience, God the Father has now exalted Him to the highest place in heaven, and has given Him the name that is far superior to any other name.10Every knee in heaven, on earth and even in the underworld, will bow at the name of Jesus.11Every tongue will have to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, for this is the Father's glorious will.Faithful witnesses12My dear friends, you see why it has been so important for you to obey the Lord, not only when I am with you but even more when we are apart. Continue to live as those who are saved, who fear the Lord, dreading the idea of ever denying Him.13For God Himself is at work within you so that you want to do what is good in His eyes.14-16Therefore, there is to be no complaining or arguing among you, no matter what you are asked to do, for this will enable you to become blameless and pure, living as God's children in an unrighteous and depraved generation. You are to shine like the stars in the universe as you share the Word of life with others. Then on the great Day of the Lord I will be able to boast that all my work among you was not for nothing.
