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 on verses about building and growing in faith. 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.

Faith

  • We come into a living and vital relationship with God through faith in all that Jesus Christ has done in His cross and resurrection.
  • Trust in God without which it is impossible to please Him.
  • Jesus exercised faith during His ministry and taught His disciples to live by faith.
  • Faith is an on-going, personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
  • Faith is believing God’s Word and therefore putting it into practice, and trusting the Holy Spirit to be our enabler in every situation.
  • Many rewards come through such a faith.

Romans 8:18-30

18Now you can see why I consider my current predicament as a minor inconvenience compared with the wonderful glory that will be revealed in us.19Why, even creation itself is in suspense, longing for God's sons to reveal who they are.20-21You see, it was His will that His purposes for His creation would be frustrated until this happens. People did not choose this frustration for themselves; it was imposed on them by God, because creation can only be liberated from bondage, from that death principle we see at work all around us, by being brought into the liberty that God's children enjoy because they know and reflect His glory.22Everywhere around us it seems that creation is groaning just like a woman about to give birth.23There is even a sense in which we believers are also groaning inwardly. Although we know the Spirit is already at work within us, we long for the time when we will go to be with the Lord as His sons, when we experience the resurrection of our bodies.24This is the hope we have because of the salvation we have received. You cannot see now that for which you hope, because hope refers to what lies in the future. If we could experience what we hope for, that would not be true hope. How can anyone say he already has what he hopes for?25No, we have to wait patiently for what God has promised us in the future.Depend on the Spirit26Similarly, we depend on the help the Holy Spirit gives us because of our weakness. We are so weak in ourselves that we do not even know how to pray. Yet the Holy Spirit Himself prays in us and for us, sometimes with such intensity that we find ourselves groaning; no words can express the depth of what He is working in us.27God searches our hearts and He certainly knows what He causes His Spirit to pray for us as His saints, the people He has set apart for Himself. His Spirit will always pray in and through us according to God's will.28We can be sure, then, that in everything God is working for the welfare of those who love Him, those He has called according to His purpose.29He knew who would be His, because He decided before He created us that He would have a people who would be like His Son, those who would live as His brothers and sisters.30This is why He called you as part of His eternal purpose. This is why, having called you, He made you totally acceptable to Him. This is why you are destined for the glory that is already yours in Christ!

Genesis 50:20

20You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
