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.

Matthew 3:11-17

11"I immerse in water those who have truly turned away from their sins and surrendered to God. But after me someone more powerful than I is coming. I am not fit even to carry His sandals. He will immerse people in the Holy Spirit and in God's purifying fire.12The tools for gathering the harvest are in His hand. He will preside over the spiritual threshing floor, gathering the good wheat into His barn, but burning the useless chaff in unquenchable fire."Jesus' baptism13One day Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John.14But John was very reluctant to do this, saying to Jesus: "I should be immersed by You, and yet You come to me!"15Jesus replied: "This is how it should be for now; for in this way it will be seen that we will fulfil everything necessary for righteousness." Then John agreed to do as Jesus wanted.16After Jesus had been baptised He came out of the water. Then the heavens were opened to Him, and the Spirit of God descended upon Him as a dove and remained on Him.17And a voice from heaven was heard, saying: "This is My Son whom I love; I am very pleased with Him."

Psalm 119:49-56

ז Zayin49Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope.50My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.51The arrogant mock me unmercifully, but I do not turn from your law.52I remember, Lord, your ancient laws, and I find comfort in them.53Indignation grips me because of the wicked, who have forsaken your law.54Your decrees are the theme of my song wherever I lodge.55In the night, Lord, I remember your name, that I may keep your law.56This has been my practice: I obey your precepts.
