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 Scriptures about prayer as well as SOAPing through Psalm 119 and the Psalms of ascent. Alongside this we'll be reading a chapter from Deuteronomy each day. 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.

Matthew 21:18-22

Faith in prayer18As He was returning to the city on the next morning, He was hungry.19He noticed a fig tree on the roadside, but when He looked closely at it there was no fruit, only leaves. So He said to the tree: "You will never bear fruit again." Immediately the tree withered.20This amazed the disciples who asked: "How could the fig tree wither so quickly?"21Jesus replied: "I tell you this truth most emphatically, if you have faith and do not doubt the outcome, you can not only do similar things to this, but you can also command this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be moved.22You see, no matter what you ask in prayer, you will receive if you truly believe."

Psalm 122

A song of ascents. Of David.1I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”2Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem. 3Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.4That is where the tribes go up— the tribes of the Lord—to praise the name of the Lord according to the statute given to Israel.5There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David. 6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure.7May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.”8For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your prosperity.

Deuteronomy 25

1When men have a dispute, they are to take it to court and the judges will decide the case, acquitting the innocent and condemning the guilty.2If the guilty man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall make him lie down and have him flogged in his presence with the number of lashes his crime deserves,3but he must not give him more than forty lashes. If he is flogged more than that, your brother will be degraded in your eyes.4Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.5If brothers are living together and one of them dies without a son, his widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband's brother shall take her and marry her and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to her.6The first son she bears shall carry on the name of the dead brother so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel.7However, if a man does not want to marry his brother's wife, she shall go to the elders at the town gate and say, "My husband's brother refuses to carry on his brother's name in Israel. He will not fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to me."8Then the elders of his town shall summon him and talk to him. If he persists in saying, "I do not want to marry her,"9his brother's widow shall go up to him in the presence of the elders, take off one of his sandals, spit in his face and say, "This is what is done to the man who will not build up his brother's family line."10That man's line shall be known in Israel as The Family of the Unsandaled.11If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts,12you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.13Do not have two differing weights in your bag-one heavy, one light.14Do not have two differing measures in your house-one large, one small.15You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.16For the LORD your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly.17Remember what the Amalekites did to you along the way when you came out of Egypt.18When you were weary and worn out, they met you on your journey and cut off all who were lagging behind; they had no fear of God.19When the LORD your God gives you rest from all the enemies around you in the land he is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!
