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 continuing through Exodus and the Psalms as well as looking at some scriptures about salvation and the Gospel 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.

Psalm 67

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.1May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us—2so that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. 3May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you.4May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples with equity and guide the nations of the earth.5May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you. 6The land yields its harvest; God, our God, blesses us.7May God bless us still, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.

Psalm 72

Of Solomon.1Endow the king with your justice, O God, the royal son with your righteousness.2May he judge your people in righteousness, your afflicted ones with justice. 3May the mountains bring prosperity to the people, the hills the fruit of righteousness.4May he defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy; may he crush the oppressor.5May he endure as long as the sun, as long as the moon, through all generations.6May he be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth.7In his days may the righteous flourish and prosperity abound till the moon is no more. 8May he rule from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.9May the desert tribes bow before him and his enemies lick the dust.10May the kings of Tarshish and of distant shores bring tribute to him.May the kings of Sheba and Seba present him gifts.11May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him. 12For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help.13He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death.14He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight. 15Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him.May people ever pray for him and bless him all day long.16May grain abound throughout the land; on the tops of the hills may it sway.May the crops flourish like Lebanon and thrive like the grass of the field.17May his name endure forever; may it continue as long as the sun. Then all nations will be blessed through him, and they will call him blessed. 18Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.19Praise be to his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory.Amen and Amen. 20This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse.

Exodus 22

1“Whoever steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it must pay back five head of cattle for the ox and four sheep for the sheep. 2“If a thief is caught breaking in at night and is struck a fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed; 3but if it happens after sunrise, the defender is guilty of bloodshed.“Anyone who steals must certainly make restitution, but if they have nothing, they must be sold to pay for their theft. 4If the stolen animal is found alive in their possession—whether ox or donkey or sheep—they must pay back double. 5“If anyone grazes their livestock in a field or vineyard and lets them stray and they graze in someone else’s field, the offender must make restitution from the best of their own field or vineyard. 6“If a fire breaks out and spreads into thornbushes so that it burns shocks of grain or standing grain or the whole field, the one who started the fire must make restitution. 7“If anyone gives a neighbor silver or goods for safekeeping and they are stolen from the neighbor’s house, the thief, if caught, must pay back double. 8But if the thief is not found, the owner of the house must appear before the judges, and they must determine whether the owner of the house has laid hands on the other person’s property. 9In all cases of illegal possession of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any other lost property about which somebody says, ‘This is mine,’ both parties are to bring their cases before the judges. The one whom the judges declare guilty must pay back double to the other. 10“If anyone gives a donkey, an ox, a sheep or any other animal to their neighbor for safekeeping and it dies or is injured or is taken away while no one is looking, 11the issue between them will be settled by the taking of an oath before the Lord that the neighbor did not lay hands on the other person’s property. The owner is to accept this, and no restitution is required. 12But if the animal was stolen from the neighbor, restitution must be made to the owner. 13If it was torn to pieces by a wild animal, the neighbor shall bring in the remains as evidence and shall not be required to pay for the torn animal. 14“If anyone borrows an animal from their neighbor and it is injured or dies while the owner is not present, they must make restitution. 15But if the owner is with the animal, the borrower will not have to pay. If the animal was hired, the money paid for the hire covers the loss.16“If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife. 17If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must still pay the bride-price for virgins. 18“Do not allow a sorceress to live. 19“Anyone who has sexual relations with an animal is to be put to death. 20“Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the Lord must be destroyed. 21“Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt. 22“Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless. 23If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry. 24My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless. 25“If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not treat it like a business deal; charge no interest. 26If you take your neighbor’s cloak as a pledge, return it by sunset, 27because that cloak is the only covering your neighbor has. What else can they sleep in? When they cry out to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate. 28“Do not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people. 29“Do not hold back offerings from your granaries or your vats.“You must give me the firstborn of your sons. 30Do the same with your cattle and your sheep. Let them stay with their mothers for seven days, but give them to me on the eighth day. 31“You are to be my holy people. So do not eat the meat of an animal torn by wild beasts; throw it to the dogs.
