Daily Bible Reading
In order for our relationship with God to grow, we talk to Him and listen to Him repeatedly. That is why we read the Bible and pray daily. To help us in our listening, we read a chapter of the Bible every day. The verses that we are focusing on this week appear below. If you click on the verse, a window will open to the whole chapter. Join our community in listening to God today!

| Sunday 03/07 | James 4:11 My friends, don't say cruel things about others! If you do, or if you condemn others, you are condemning God's Law. And if you condemn the Law, you put yourself above the Law. (CEV) | Here’s the problem: It feels good to say cruel things about others - especially when you are with a group of people who agree with you - especially if the person you are talking about is not there to defend themselves. It feels good in the short run. Why? Why doesn’t it feel good in the long run? |
| Monday 03/08 | Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. | Sin brings guilt. Guilt brings shame. Shame causes us to hide – from God and the people we have sinned against. How are you avoiding time with God these days? What people in your life are you steering clear of? |
| Tuesday 03/09 | 1 Peter 4:10 God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. (NLT) | You are a gifted person. No, you don’t think so? Well, it doesn’t matter what you think. God says you are. What do you think your spiritual gift might be? How are you using it to bless others? |
| Wednesday 03/10 | Psalm 10:1 Why, O LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? | Trouble in your work. Trouble with people in your life. Trouble with your health. Where is God when there is trouble? Not only is He with you, He has been there. When have you felt abandoned by God? |
| Thursday 03/11 | 2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. | Maybe you have felt like giving up lately. Your heart is just not in it any more. The passion is gone. And everything in your life is falling apart. Let God renew you … from the inside. What is stopping you from inviting Jesus into your life? |
| today > > Friday 03/12 | Genesis 3:8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. | There are many different ways to hide from God: just don’t think about him; busy yourself with many other things; put burning questions about God on the back burner. How are you hiding from God today? |
| Saturday 03/13 | James 5:16b Pray for one another so that you might be healed. The prayer of a godly person is powerful. It makes things happen. (NIrV) | Make things happen today. How? Pray for someone. Who can you pray for today? |
