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.

Matthew 6:25-34

Do not worry25"So I tell you clearly, do not worry about any aspect of your life, what you should eat or drink or what you should wear on your body. There are far more important things in life than food and there are many more important things about you than what clothes you wear!26"Think of the birds you see flying around. They neither sow nor reap, nor do they store food away in barns; and yet your heavenly Father supplies food for them. Do you not consider yourself more valuable than the birds?27And who can add anything positive to his life through worrying?28"So why worry about your clothes? Look how beautiful the lilies in the field are! They neither work nor weave to make themselves appear so good.29And yet I tell you clearly that even Solomon in his most glorious apparel could not match these lilies for beauty.30So if this is the way in which God dresses what grows naturally in the fields, things that are here today and tomorrow are thrown away and burned, will He not make sure that you are well clothed? How weak your faith is!31"Therefore, do not worry by saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What have we to drink?' or 'What can we wear?'32The pagans are concerned about such things, but your heavenly Father is well aware of everything you need.33Let the Kingdom of heaven and living in a right relationship with God be your priorities; then everything else you need will be given to you as well.34So do not worry about what will happen tomorrow. Let tomorrow worry about itself! You have enough to think about today, and that is true for every day!

Philippians 4:10-20

Contentment in all circumstances10Your renewed concern for me has caused me to rejoice greatly in the Lord. I appreciate that in the past you had no opportunity to show such concern.11I am not suggesting that I am in need, for I have learned to be content regardless of the circumstances in which I find myself.12I certainly have known what it is to be in need and I have also known times of abundance. I learned how important it is to be content no matter what the situation, whether I am well fed or hungry, whether I am living in abundance or am lacking what I need.13I discovered that I am able to do everything through trusting in the One who always gives me strength.Thankfulness for Philippians' generosity14Yet I do appreciate your willingness to share in my troubles.15You Philippians are also fully aware that when you were first introduced to the gospel, you were the only church that undertook to share in the cost involved when I moved on from Macedonia. As a result, you also shared in the benefit of receiving.16Even when I was in Thessalonica, again and again you sent me the support I needed.17It is not that I am seeking a gift, only that more may be credited to your heavenly account!18I have received all I need and more besides. Now that I have received the gifts you sent by Epaphroditus I have plenty. Your gifts are a sweet offering, an acceptable sacrifice that pleases God.19And my God will surely supply for all your needs, drawing on the glorious riches He has given us through our unity with Christ Jesus.20Glory belongs to God our Father for all eternity. Amen! It shall be so!
