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.

1 Peter 2:9-12

A chosen people9By contrast, see what you have become, people chosen by God Himself. You are a royal priesthood because you offer your lives in sacrifice as those who live in the King. You are a holy nation, not a nation with geographical boundaries but a people set apart for God, a people who truly belong to Him.Why has God done all this for you? So that you can declare with your mouths and by the way you live, the praises of this wonderful God who called you out of darkness and has brought you into His wonderful light.10There was a time when you did not belong to these people who form God's Kingdom on earth; but now each of you is one of God's people. Before you did not experience His mercy; but now you are who you are because of that mercy.11So I implore you, my dear friends, because you are strangers and do not belong to this world, refuse to yield to any sinful desires that will only fight against the well-being of your souls.12Give such an example to the ungodly among whom you live, that they will see God's goodness in your lives, even when they bring all manner of false accusations against you. For your example will help them to embrace the glory of God that is to be revealed when Christ returns.

1 Thessalonians 5:12-24

12Now, my brothers, I ask you to have true honour for those who work hard on your behalf, whom the Lord has placed over you and who warn and correct you as necessary.13Maintain the highest regard for them and love them wholeheartedly because of their work. And live in peace and harmony with one another.14My brothers, I also urge you to warn any who are lazy, to encourage the fearful, to help the weak and to be patient with everyone.15Be certain that none of you retaliates with wrong for wrong. Instead always aim to be kind to one another and to anyone else.16Always be full of joy.17Keep praying all the time.18Give thanks to God, regardless of your circumstances. All this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.19Do nothing to dampen the fire of God's Spirit within you.20Do not treat genuine prophetic words from the Lord with contempt by ignoring them.21Test whatever is said and hold onto what is good because it is clearly from God.22Shun evil in all its forms.23And may God Himself, the God of peace, cause you to be holy in every aspect of your lives, so that everything about you in spirit, soul and body will be kept blameless in God's eyes at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.24He who has called you is the Faithful One and He will work this in you.
