Daily Reading God's Word

Monday, May 11,2026

Good morning, Lord

Father in Heaven, I seek You first-the knowledge of Your kingdom and Your righteousness. Fill my consciousness constantly and complete Your joy in me as I take up my cross and follow...In Jesus' name…

Memory verse: Joshua 1:9

9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Verse of the day- Proverbs 31:10

10  “An excellent wife who can find?    She is far more precious than jewels.”

Today’s reading: 2 Kings 15-16 John 3:1-18

Our Daily Reading

Just above our title is the ‘Bible in a year’ readings for the day and I pray that you are reading God’s Holy Scripture each day. If you have or will today, you saw one of the most remembered verses in all of Christianity.

I am recording the ‘Names of God’ translation this year and this how John 3:16 reads:

16 “God loved the world this way: He gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.”

It says the same things, in some different words, that all good translations say. Now listen to verse 17 of John 3:

 “17 God sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but to save the world. “

Jesus did not come to judge us guilty. When we see Christ as He is-righteous, divine, and Holy and when we feel the Holy Spirit calling us, our sin is very apparent to us. Our darkness must be confessed-Ephesians 2 says we are children of God’s wrath-the power of God has shined His light on our guilt.

God gave His only son to wash us off-clean us up completely-set us free from guilt-all this yes-but this all is so we can be reunited forever with the ‘Lover of our souls’.

We must be diligent about reading God’s word everyday. God reminds us of His truth every time we read any of His word. If we don’t read, we are not reminded.

We need to hear God speak and He does-every time we read or hear His word read:2 Timothy 3:16 says, “All scripture is God breathed...”

We must be restored all the time-everyday-all day long of God’s love and grace in our lives…

...lest we get dull and forget.

Tell God you want to hear Him speak in His word....

...because He loves us...He will do it…

Father in Heaven,

Hallowed be Your name. I want Your kingdom knowledge. I want to do Your will. I need Your wisdom and control for today. Forgive me for omitting the reading of Your word. Lead me away from trusting my own understanding.

Divine Teacher,

In the name of Jesus,

Amen
