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 reading scriptures about being a church that grows deeper in Christ, stronger in community and more fruitful in our witness. Each day you'll find the passages in full below alongside something to help you reflect and respond so that you can apply the Word to your life.

A simple daily rhythm

Allow 15–25 minutes each day for personal time with God.

1. Read — 5–10 minutes
Read both passages slowly. Notice what each reveals about God, His people and His purposes.

2. Reflect — 5 minutes
Consider the day's question. What is God inviting you to understand or change?

3. Respond — 5 minutes
Choose one practical step that puts the Word into action.

4. Pray — 2–5 minutes
Ask God to deepen your spiritual life, strengthen your relationships and make your witness fruitful.

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.

Growing Relationally
Bearing others’ burdens

Reflect: How can I help cultivate a community where people feel safe to ask for help?
Respond: Reach out to someone who may be struggling and offer to listen, pray, or provide support.

Job 2:11-13

11When Job's three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him.12When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him; they began to weep aloud, and they tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads.13Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him, because they saw how great his suffering was.

Galatians 6:1-10

Continue to do good1Brothers, if someone yields to sin, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Be careful in case you also are tempted.2Carry each other's burdens, for by doing so you will fulfil Christ's law.3For if anyone considers himself important when he is really nothing, he only deceives himself.4Let each one test the things he does to see if he has anything to boast about, without worrying about what others do.5In this sense each one has to look out for himself.6Let the one who is taught the Word share all that is good with his teacher.7Do not be fooled; God is not to be mocked! For anyone will reap according to what he has sown.8So the one who sows to please himself will reap the destruction that comes from such a lifestyle. But he who sows obedience to the Spirit will reap what the Spirit gives: eternal life.9So let us never be discouraged from doing what is good, for in due course we shall reap abundantly if we persevere.10Therefore, let us do good to everyone whenever we have the opportunity to do so, but especially in regard to our fellow members in the family of faith.

Father, enable us to be rooted deeply in Christ, united by Your love and empowered by Your Spirit. Grow us in spiritual maturity, deepen our relationships with one another, and send us into our communities as faithful witnesses to Jesus. Help us to proclaim the gospel in word and deed, welcome those who feel far from You, and make disciples who make disciples. May our life together display Your kingdom and bring glory to Your name. Amen.
