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 looking at scriptures which talk about Jews and Gentiles alongside a passage about love. The first scripture each day follows this outline: 
Days 1-6 - The Foundation & the Prophets
Days 7-10 - Jesus and the Nations
Days 11-19 - The Early Church & the Gentiles
Days 20-30 - God’s Plan for Jews and Gentiles United in Christ
Day 31 - The Final Reminder of God’s Global Kingdom. 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.

Ephesians 3:1-21

A servant of the gospel1This is the reason why I, Paul, am happy to be a prisoner of Jesus Christ; it is for your sake.2-3You have heard about the way God has given me such grace for your benefit, so that I could tell you of the hidden things that have been revealed to me.4Now that I am writing in this way you will be able to understand the insight I have been given into these truths about Christ that remained hidden to those of other generations.5These things have now been revealed by the Spirit to those whom God has raised up as apostles and prophets.6It seems strange that because of the gospel those who are not Jews are heirs together with Israel, of all that God has promised. Both Jewish and non-Jewish believers in Christ form one body and they share together in the promises given by God through Him.7God called me to be a servant of this gospel and gave me His grace so He would work powerfully through me.8I consider myself less than the very lowest of God's people; yet, He gave me such grace. He enabled me to preach the gospel to the Gentile nations, telling them of the immense riches of Christ.9I have been able to explain to everyone those things that formerly remained hidden in the purposes of God, who created everything.10His plan has always been that now His great wisdom should be revealed through the church, His people; that the church should declare these truths even to the heavenly rulers and authorities.11It has always been His purpose from the very beginning that all this should be made possible in Christ Jesus our Lord.12Because you live in Him and have faith in Him, you are able to approach God freely and with confidence.13So I ask you not to be put off because I have had to suffer for your sake. Rather regard these sufferings as a means by which you have come to know God's glory!Prayer for the saints on earth14-15You can see from all this why I kneel before the Father, the One who is responsible for His entire family, those already in heaven and those on the earth.16I pray that out of His glorious riches you will be strengthened with power by the working of His Spirit in your inmost being.17-19This is so that you will know the presence of Christ in your hearts because of your faith in Him. I also pray that your lives will be deeply rooted in His love; that you will be so steadfast in this love that, like all those who believe in Jesus and who are set apart for His purposes as His saints, you will be able to comprehend something of the amazing extent of Christ's love. This love seems boundless and unlimited and through that love you can be filled to the fullest extent with God Himself.20He is able to do so much more than all you would ever dare to ask Him or even imagine that He would give you, through His power that He has already placed within you.21So let His glory be revealed in the church. And let those who belong to Him live to give Him glory; yes, believers of every successive generation, for ever. Amen! It shall be so!

Psalm 103:11-18

11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;12as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. 13As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;14for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.15The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;16the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.17But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children—18with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
