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'll be looking at scriptures on the Holy Spirit and what it means to live devoted and holy. Alongside these passages we'll be reading through Psalm 119 and some of the following Psalms 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.

The Holy Spirit

  • The third person of the Trinity. So the Holy Spirit is God.
  • He is the Spirit of holiness, of truth, of faith, the Counsellor who will always be with us as believers.
  • The Holy Spirit is God’s great gift to those for whom Jesus Christ is Saviour and Lord.
  • Because He lives in them, the bodies of believers have become temples of the Holy Spirit.
  • As God lives in the believer, he or she is to trust in the power of the Holy Spirit to enable the fulfillment of His will.
  • He reproduces the character of Christ within believers.
  • They are able to use spiritual gifts or express supernatural manifestations of the Spirit who lives in them.

John 15:18-27

Rejection is inevitable18"If you experience hatred from worldly people, remember that they hated Me first. If you belonged to the world and lived by its standards, then they would love you as their own.19The truth is that you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen to take you out of worldliness to belong to My Kingdom. That is why the world hates you and is opposed to you.20"Remember what I have already taught you: 'No servant is greater than the master he serves!' So if they persecute Me, it is certain that they will also persecute you. On the other hand, those who have obeyed what I have taught them will also obey what you teach them.21In other words, you will be treated by people in the same way that they have treated Me, simply because you speak and act in My name, on My behalf. What is more, those who oppose you do not know the Father who sent Me.22"They would not be guilty in the same way if they were simply ignorant. But the fact that I have come and told them the truth compounds their guilt. They have no excuse for their sin of rejecting Me and what I have said.23Anyone who hates Me hates My Father as well.24In rejecting Me and My teaching, they have clearly rejected what I did among them, the miraculous signs that verified My message. So their guilt is even greater. They have shown their hatred of both Me and My Father despite the miracles.25"This only shows that what is written in their law is correct and has now been fulfilled, 'They hated Me without cause.'26"However, when I send you the Counsellor from the Father, the Spirit of Truth who comes from the Father, He will bear witness to all I have said and done.27And you also will be My witnesses, for you have been with Me from the beginning of My ministry here.

Psalm 119:145-152

ק Qoph145I call with all my heart; answer me, Lord, and I will obey your decrees.146I call out to you; save me and I will keep your statutes.147I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word.148My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises.149Hear my voice in accordance with your love; preserve my life, Lord, according to your laws.150Those who devise wicked schemes are near, but they are far from your law.151Yet you are near, Lord, and all your commands are true.152Long ago I learned from your statutes that you established them to last forever.
