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.

Ephesians 1:11-23

11We were chosen to belong to Him. This was God's plan from the beginning, and He works out everything so His will and His purposes are completely fulfilled.12All this is so that we who first put our hope in Christ might live for His praise and glory.13But you also, like us, were placed in Christ when you heard the truth of the gospel of salvation and believed. Then He marked you in a very special way by placing His personal seal upon you: He gave you His own promised Holy Spirit to live within you.14The gift of His Spirit is a deposit from God that guarantees our inheritance and keeps us as those who are His possession, living in the power of His redeeming love. Yes, that we might live for His praise and glory!15-16Ever since I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and the way you love your fellow saints, those who also belong to Him, I have been continually thankful that you also share in His life. So I keep remembering you when I pray.17I ask that the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ may impart to you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation of who He is and what He has done for you, so that you will come to know Him better.18-19I also pray for your heart to be filled with light, that you will see for yourself, and know in your experience, the hope to which He has called you, the purpose He wants to see fulfilled in your life. What is this hope? That His saints, all those who belong to Him, will enjoy the riches of a glorious inheritance; and that they may also know His power working in them because they believe in Him, a power so great that it cannot be compared with any other power! You have an example of this power, of exactly how mighty it is, in the resurrection of Christ.Jesus reigns over all20Yes, the power that raised Him from the dead and caused Him to be seated in heaven at His Father's right hand is that same power which is within you now.21As a result of this power, Jesus is now reigning far above every other ruler, authority, power and dominion. He is greater than anyone else could ever be, not only in this present age but also in the future age that He will inaugurate.22-23God has placed everything under Jesus' feet. He has appointed Him to have authority over everything for the sake of the church, which is His body on earth. And He intends the fullness of Christ's life to fill everything in every way, first in the church, and then in the new creation.

Psalm 119:33-40

ה He33Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end.34Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart.35Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.36Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.37Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.38Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared.39Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good.40How I long for your precepts! In your righteousness preserve my life.
