Yes, I’m a bit behind in sharing Scripture snapshots from my daily Bible reading plans. Here’s some from yesterday’s readings. Cool how so many of these run together in a common theme.
Matthew 16:13-16
13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”14They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Romans 16:17-18
17I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.
2 Timothy 2:14-18
14Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some.
Job 16:1-3
1Then Job replied:2“I have heard many things like these;
miserable comforters are you all!3Will your long-winded speeches never end?
What ails you that you keep on arguing?
Psalm 16:5-6
5Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
you have made my lot secure.6The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
Proverbs 16:23
23A wise man’s heart guides his mouth,
and his lips promote instruction.
Proverbs 16:28
28A perverse man stirs up dissension,
and a gossip separates close friends.
Acts 16:29-33
29The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.30He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved — you and your household.” 32Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his family were baptized.
John,
I saw your post a few weeks ago about your new daily Bible reading plan and I thought it sounded neat, so I have been doing it. I have LOVED it so far! Thanks for sharing it on your blog-site.
Glad you’re enjoying it Marsha! I’ve really liked it too, and have heard similar things from almost everyone who has tried it. It’s a unique plan for sure, but very effective at giving the big picture of Scripture!
