There are many different websites that offer reading plans to read the Bible in a year. Here is a really good one: Read the KJV Bible in One Year. For today, why don't you read along with me chapters 4-6 in Ephesians.
Special verses:
"Being confident of this very
thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform
it until the day of Jesus Christ..." - Philippians 1:6
"...the things which happened unto me
have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel..Philippians 1:12
"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." - Philippians 1:21
"Only let your
conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ..." - Philippians 1:27
"For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake." - Philippians 1:29
"Let
nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of
mind let each esteem other better than themselves." - Philippians 2:3
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation , and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in
fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto
death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name
of Jesus every knee should bow , of things in heaven, and things
in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Wherefore, my
beloved, as ye have always obeyed , not as in my presence
only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own
salvation with fear and trembling.
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." - Philippians 2:5-13
"That I may know him, and the
power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings,
being made conformable unto his death..." - Philippians 3:10
"...but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto
those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 3:13,14
"(For many walk ,
of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping ,
that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)" - Philippians 3:18, 19
"Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say , Rejoice .
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for
nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of
God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren,
whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be
any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." - Philippians 4:4-8
"...for I have learned , in whatsoever state I am , therewith to be content." - Philippians 4:11
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." - Philippians 4:13
"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:19
Note: If you
have a reading disability that makes it difficult or impossible to read
along with me this year, please consider going to Biblegateway.com and listening to the Bible. This is a great site with many resources, one of which is an audio version of the Bible Daily.Recommended reading:
