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 focusing our reading around prayer to help build faith & expectation for people to be saved. Alongside we'll be reading a Psalm a day and continuing to read a chapter of Genesis/Exodus. 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.

Hebrews 5:7-10

7During His life on earth, Jesus prayed to His Father with loud cries and tears, for only He could save Him from death. And the Father heard Him because He prayed with such submission to His Father's will.8Even though He was God's Son, He had to obey through everything He suffered.9In this way He was perfect, not only in nature but also in action, and could be the One through whom all who are obedient to God could receive eternal salvation and be made one with Him forever.10So it was God Himself that made Jesus High Priest in the line of Melchizedek.

Psalm 49

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.1Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all who live in this world,2both low and high, rich and poor alike:3My mouth will speak words of wisdom; the meditation of my heart will give you understanding.4I will turn my ear to a proverb; with the harp I will expound my riddle: 5Why should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers surround me—6those who trust in their wealth and boast of their great riches?7No one can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for them—8the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough—9so that they should live on forever and not see decay.10For all can see that the wise die, that the foolish and the senseless also perish, leaving their wealth to others.11Their tombs will remain their houses forever, their dwellings for endless generations, though they had named lands after themselves. 12People, despite their wealth, do not endure; they are like the beasts that perish. 13This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings.14They are like sheep and are destined to die; death will be their shepherd (but the upright will prevail over them in the morning).Their forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions.15But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead; he will surely take me to himself.16Do not be overawed when others grow rich, when the splendor of their houses increases;17for they will take nothing with them when they die, their splendor will not descend with them.18Though while they live they count themselves blessed— and people praise you when you prosper—19they will join those who have gone before them, who will never again see the light of life. 20People who have wealth but lack understanding are like the beasts that perish.

Genesis 49

1Then Jacob called for his sons and said: “Gather around so I can tell you what will happen to you in days to come. 2“Assemble and listen, sons of Jacob; listen to your father Israel. 3“Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, the first sign of my strength, excelling in honor, excelling in power.4Turbulent as the waters, you will no longer excel, for you went up onto your father’s bed, onto my couch and defiled it. 5“Simeon and Levi are brothers— their swords are weapons of violence.6Let me not enter their council, let me not join their assembly,for they have killed men in their anger and hamstrung oxen as they pleased.7Cursed be their anger, so fierce, and their fury, so cruel!I will scatter them in Jacob and disperse them in Israel. 8“Judah, your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father’s sons will bow down to you.9You are a lion’s cub, Judah; you return from the prey, my son.Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness—who dares to rouse him?10The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,until he to whom it belongs shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his.11He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch;he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.12His eyes will be darker than wine, his teeth whiter than milk. 13“Zebulun will live by the seashore and become a haven for ships; his border will extend toward Sidon. 14“Issachar is a rawboned donkey lying down among the sheep pens.15When he sees how good is his resting place and how pleasant is his land,he will bend his shoulder to the burden and submit to forced labor. 16“Dan will provide justice for his people as one of the tribes of Israel.17Dan will be a snake by the roadside, a viper along the path,that bites the horse’s heels so that its rider tumbles backward. 18“I look for your deliverance, Lord. 19“Gad will be attacked by a band of raiders, but he will attack them at their heels. 20“Asher’s food will be rich; he will provide delicacies fit for a king. 21“Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns. 22“Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine near a spring, whose branches climb over a wall.23With bitterness archers attacked him; they shot at him with hostility.24But his bow remained steady, his strong arms stayed limber,because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,25because of your father’s God, who helps you, because of the Almighty, who blesses youwith blessings of the skies above, blessings of the deep springs below, blessings of the breast and womb.26Your father’s blessings are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains, than the bounty of the age-old hills.Let all these rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince among his brothers. 27“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning he devours the prey, in the evening he divides the plunder.” 28All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said to them when he blessed them, giving each the blessing appropriate to him.29Then he gave them these instructions: “I am about to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite, 30the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre in Canaan, which Abraham bought along with the field as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite. 31There Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah were buried, and there I buried Leah. 32The field and the cave in it were bought from the Hittites.” 33When Jacob had finished giving instructions to his sons, he drew his feet up into the bed, breathed his last and was gathered to his people.
