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.

Philippians 4:4-9

Rejoice, pray and give thanks4Always rejoice in the Lord! I repeat: Rejoice!5-6Let your gentle spirit be obvious to others. The Lord is near; so there is no need to be anxious about anything. Instead pray about everything, following your petitions with thanksgiving whenever you ask anything of God!7God's peace is beyond understanding and will keep your hearts and minds at one with Christ Jesus.8What, then, should fill your thoughts? Whatever is true and noble and right in God's eyes; what is pure and lovely to Him; what He admires, which is everything that is excellent and worthy of praise.9Put into practice all you have learned from me; whatever you have received or heard from me. The Lord's peace will continue to be with you.

Ephesians 4:22-32

22As far as your former way of life is concerned, you were taught from the very beginning to put off your old sinful nature, that old self that was corrupted by its deceitful desires.23Instead you were made new with a totally different mindset.24And you made the decision to put on the new life which enables you to become what God wants you to be, living in ways that are right in His eyes, being His holy people, set apart from the world to live the life of His Kingdom here on earth.25So it is essential for each of you to rid yourselves completely of everything that is false and instead speak truthfully to others; for we are all members of the one body of Christ, a body of truth!26-27It is said, "even if you are angry do not sin". Do not hold onto your anger; be rid of it before the end of the day, otherwise you could give the devil a foothold to take advantage of you.28Anyone who used to steal in his old life must, of course, no longer steal. Instead he must have a proper job, working for his living by doing something useful with his hands. Then, instead of taking he will have something to give to needy people.29Do not speak in an impure or critical way. Instead of mouthing unclean or negative things, speak in a way that will encourage and benefit others because you are addressing their needs.30And do not grieve God's Holy Spirit in any way. Remember you have had the seal of the Spirit placed on you to keep you walking in God's ways until the day when He takes you to be with Himself.31Rid yourselves of every negative thing, being bitter in your attitudes, being angry and resentful. Do not get into disputes with others, especially physical ones! Do not slander others or have any malicious attitudes towards them.32Instead be kind and compassionate to one another, always ready to forgive in the same way that, through Christ, God has always been willing to forgive you!
