Daily Bible Reading “Our God Shall Come” (Psalm 50:1-15)

Posted on July 22, 2025 by Deborah H. Bateman

Our God Shall Come

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 50:1-15. Psalm 50 is a Psalm of Asaph, who was one of the worship leaders in the temple. God is calling everyone on the earth to gather together before Him so He can judge His people. Are you ready for that call?

He is coming back and when He does, He will judge both the living and the dead. He will gather those together who have made a covenant with Him. The heavens will declare His righteousness. God is a righteous judge. He knows everything about us. He knows the thoughts and intentions of our hearts.

“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6).

God says He will not take any of our sacrifices, such as the animals that were sacrificed in the Old Testament. God reminds us that all the animals of the earth belong to Him anyway. God knows the animals like He knows us. God says even if He was hungry He wouldn’t tell us. Everything in this world belongs to God, He created it.

God reminds us to offer thanksgiving to Him. What God wants from us is praise and thanksgiving. God wants us to pay our vows to Him. God wants us to call on Him in the time of trouble. He will deliver us and we will glorify Him.

Do you call on God when you’re in trouble? Some people fast (go without food) and pray for God to deliver them. Have you ever wanted God’s favor in a situation bad enough to fast and pray for it?

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 50:1-15

1 [[A Psalm of Asaph.]] The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

Things to think about:

Are you ready for the call of God?
Is there anything in your life for which you need to ask God to forgive you? If so, what?
How much time do you devote to giving God praise and thanksgiving?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 50. We thank You that You are a righteous judge. Help us to honor You, praise You, and give thanksgiving to You for who You are. Thank You for loving us and caring about us. Help us to know we can call on You in the day of trouble and You will deliver us. Help us to glorify Your name. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

by Deborah H. Bateman

About the book:

The Book of Psalms: Part 2 Chapters 31-60 by Deborah H. Bateman is 27th book in the Daily Bible Reading Series. The book of Psalms contains 150 chapters. Deborah divided The Book of Psalms into five books to make it easier to read and study. Each book will contain approximately thirty chapters from the book of Psalms.

Psalm 119 will not be included in The Book of Psalms since Deborah has already published a book about it called: Psalm 119: Thy Word is a Lamp unto My Feet. The book of Psalms is one of Deborah’s favorite books of the Bible. It is a great book to read if you’re ever feeling down or need to renew your relationship with Christ. King David went through a lot of tough times in his lifetime, but he loved God and trusted God to protect him from his enemies.

The book of Psalms was written by various people. About half of it was attributed to King David, whether they were written by David or for David is questioned by some biblical scholars. Some of the Psalms were written by Asaph and some say they were written for the sons of Korah and even Moses and Solomon were writers of the Psalms. The Psalms consists of poetry that was primarily meant to be used as songs of praise to the Lord.

The Book of Psalms: Part 2 Chapters 31-60 contains thirty-five Daily Bible Reading Lessons. Each lesson contains a brief commentary by the author, the Daily Bible Reading Scriptures, a few questions for contemplation or discussion, and a prayer of the day. It is a great Bible study for individuals or group studies.

Daily Bible Reading “Who is This King of Glory?” (Psalm 24:1-10)

Posted on June 2, 2025 by Deborah H. Bateman

Who is This King of Glory?

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 24:1-10. Psalm 24 is a Psalm of David. David declares the earth and those who dwell in it is the LORD’S. God created the earth and every living creature that dwells on the earth.

David asks, “Who will ascend to the hill of the LORD and stand in His holy place?” David says it will be He who has clean hands and a pure heart and doesn’t speak vainly or lie. He will receive the blessing from the LORD and righteousness from the God of His salvation. Could David be talking about Jesus? He ascended to heaven and He will return one day and stand on the holy hill of the LORD.

David cries out, “Lift up your heads and the King of glory will come in!” David asks several times who this King of glory is. Notice the replies. The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle, the LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory! Do you know this LORD?

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 24:1-10

1 [[A Psalm of David.]] The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Things to think about:

What does David declare in verse one?
Who does David say will stand on the holy hill of the LORD?
Who is this King of glory?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in the book of Psalms. We thank You and praise You for Your creation of the earth and everything in the earth. We thank You for Your Son, Jesus, who came and lived on this earth, then died for our sins. Help us to put our complete faith and trust in His finished work of salvation. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Listen to Me” (Proverbs 5:7-14)

Posted on July 27, 2017 by Deborah H. Bateman

Listen to Me

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Proverbs 5:7-14. In this Scripture, Solomon tells his children to listen and not depart from the words of his mouth. He warns his sons again to stay far away from the strange or adulteress woman, and do not even go near the door of her house.

He tells them if they do so, they will give their honor to others, and their years to those who are cruel. He tells them that strangers will get their wealth; and their efforts will be in the house of a stranger.

He says in the end they will mourn when their flesh and body are consumed. He warns them saying, “You will ask, Why have I hated instruction, and my heart despised correction?”

You will say, I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor listened to those who instructed me! I was almost in all evil in the middle of the gathering of the congregation.

Solomon reminds me of something I’ve heard my husband say, “Danger, Will Robinson, danger, danger.” This is a quote from “Lost in Space.”

Over and over again Solomon warns his sons and tries to keep them from walking down a dangerous path. He explains the consequences of getting involved with strange women.

Do you ever do this with your children? We warn them and try to keep them from danger. We try to keep them from making choices that they will regret later. That is what Solomon is doing in this Scripture. He wants to make sure his sons know the dangers that are out in the world. He doesn’t want them to head down the wrong path in life.

In this Scripture, a father is talking to his sons, but as mother’s, we too need to warn our children of the dangers in this world.

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:1-2).

Daily Bible Reading:

Proverbs 5:7-14

7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

Things to think about:

What are some of the consequences of being with strange women that Solomon mentioned in this Scripture?
What did he say would happen to their wealth?
What did he say would happen to their bodies?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we read this Scripture in Proverbs we hear Solomon repeatedly warning his sons about the dangers of living a rebellious life. He warns them about getting involved with strange women. Help us not to walk down the path of unrighteousness. Keep us safely on the right path loving and serving You. Forgive us of the times we have failed You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “The LORD Gives Wisdom” (Proverbs 2:1-9)

Posted on July 12, 2017 by Deborah H. Bateman

The LORD Gives Wisdom

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Proverbs 2:1-9. Solomon says to his son, “My son, accept my words, and hide my commandments in your heart. Listen to wisdom, apply your heart to understanding, cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding.”

Seek wisdom like you seek after money, and search for it like hidden treasures. Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

The LORD gives wisdom. From His mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He sets up sound wisdom for the upright. He protects those who live with integrity. He keeps the paths of judgment, and guards the path of his faithful children.

If you seek wisdom from the LORD, you will learn to be honest, have good judgment, be impartial, and walk in every good way.

There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom. We can have a lot of knowledge about a certain topic, but to say we have wisdom in that area we have to learn to understand and apply the knowledge that we have attained.

Wisdom and knowledge are something we have to seek after. It is not going to come knocking on our door.

Having a relationship with the LORD and spending time with Him, listening for His still small voice will help us to obtain wisdom.

Daily Bible Reading:

Proverbs 2:1-9

1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

Things to think about:

What is the difference between wisdom and knowledge?
Where do we get wisdom, knowledge, and understanding?
What do we need to do to obtain wisdom, knowledge, and understanding?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we read this Scripture we see that we have to seek after wisdom and knowledge. Help us to seek Your face for the wisdom, knowledge and understanding that we need in this life. Help us to live with integrity and seek to do right in everything we do. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “God Blessed Noah” (Genesis 9:1-7)

Posted on June 13, 2016 by Deborah H. Bateman

God Blessed Noah

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Genesis 9:1-7. God blessed Noah and his sons, and told them to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.

God also told them that they would have dominion over the earth and every creature on the earth. He said that fear and dread would be on every beast of the earth, every fowl of the air, everything that moved on the earth and on all the fishes of the sea, because they had been delivered into their hands.

God informed Noah that every moving thing that lived on the earth would be food for them like the green herb. But God warned them that they were not to eat any living flesh while its blood was still in it.

God said that he would require the life of anyone who took another person’s life. If a wild beast killed a person, it must die. Anybody who sheds a man’s blood, his life will be taken, because God made man in His own image.

From the beginning man was God’s most prized creation. He made sure to take care of every need man had. He loved us then and He still loves us today and provides our needs. He’s a good Father.

God commanded Noah and his sons to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.

Daily Bible Reading:

Genesis 9:1-7

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.

6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

Things to think about:

What authority did God give Noah and his sons?

What did God give Noah permission to eat?

What did God forbid Noah and his sons to eat?

What did God command Noah and his sons to do?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we study this passage we see that You blessed Noah and his sons and gave them dominion over the earth and every living thing on the earth. You also commanded them to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth. Help us as we live in this earth to have respect for one another and all the creatures that You created. Help us to honor You in all that we do. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
