Bible Reading Plan

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.

1 Corinthians 6:12-20

Don't indulge the flesh12You hear some people say, "Everything is possible for me." However not everything is beneficial for you. You may say, "Everything is permissible for me;" but I will not allow any fleshly desire to be my master.13Others say, "Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food." Yes, but both food and stomach will be destroyed by God. He has given you your body to be used for His purposes, not for sexual immorality. That is why the Lord has come to live in your body.14God used His power to raise the Lord Jesus from the dead and by that same power He will raise us as well.15Do you not realise that your bodies are members of Christ Himself because you belong to His body? Would you expect me to take members of Christ and make them one with prostitutes? Of course not!16You know that anyone who unites himself with a prostitute has made himself of one body with her, don't you? God has said, "The two become one flesh," when they have sexual relations.17How much better for the believer to unite himself with the Lord, so He will be one with Him in Spirit!18Turn your back completely on sexual immorality. All the other sins a man can be guilty of do not involve his body in the same way. But the man who sins sexually actually commits sin against his own body!Temples of the Holy Spirit19Surely you realise that God has made your body a temple of the Holy Spirit, who now lives in you? This is God's doing; and so you do not belong to yourself, to do as you please.20God has purchased you for Himself; He has paid the price for you with His Son's blood. So honour Him in the way you use your body!

Psalm 125

A song of ascents.1Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore. 3The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous,for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil. 4Lord, do good to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart.5But those who turn to crooked ways the Lord will banish with the evildoers.Peace be on Israel.
