    7 You are altogether beautiful, my love;
    there is no flaw in you. – Song of Solomon 4:7

  5. Michelle Zemtsov says:

    The same Peter who denied being a Jesus follower because he feared for his life, is now preaching to the same people who he was afraid of. What changed? His faith in Jesus grew stronger and he decided that obeying God was more important than his physical safety.

    22Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you.

  8. Lisa Egnew says:

    6But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”

  9. Mary BethBenson says:

    I think the Acts reading is very striking to me. Peter is speaking to Jews, people that think they were acting righteously and were right with God by the mere fact of their heritage. Yet, Peter addresses them and the truth of their nature: they are NOT right before God for they rejected the Messiah—the One that God had foretold long ago. Peter urges them to repent and believe in Jesus, for that is true righteousness. We are only made right by receiving Jesus and HIS righteousness. He is the only Holy and Anointed One! Jesus, thank you that we don’t have to be good enough and that we’re free to come to you as we are. You are the only holy and righteous one that makes a way for us to come through the good and perfect work of the Cross. Help us to stand before you without fear or concern to prove ourselves, because Jesus finished the work for us.

    Song of Songs is so beautiful! Sometimes it’s nice to read such beautiful language that isn’t used a whole lot anymore

  13. Hannah Little says:

    Times of refreshing- I’m going to make that my prayer today!

  14. Kendra Lunn says:

    The miracles of God.

    This Jesus – God has made both Lord and Christ. This Jesus whom we crucified. He is our Lord. He is Christ our promised Savior!

  18. Eri Antoinette says:

    Amen!!

  19. danielle yeo says:

    learnt about how we must have faith in God. do not underestimate His ways, for He is the almighty and the Messiah that God has sent to die on the cross for us. ❤️ 01/08/19

  20. Papa says:

    May God bless you all. I pray that everyone who started this plan reads daily to achieve the goal and to get closer to God. Amen.

  21. Lindsey says:

    It feels really great to read everyone’s posts and discuss Gods word with ladies I’ve never met but know that I have people that I can pray with! Just started the daily reading today! Thankful for this app!

  22. Lindsay says:

    Downloaded this app today! Excited to keep myself on track and accountable!

  23. Shayla Michelle says:

    I like how when he talks about her at the beginning he not only addresses her as my bride but also has “my sister” because before all else we are all brothers and sisters in Christ

  24. Cameron Byler says:

    I very happy that I opened this app today and got to read this verse I’ve had a rough time trying to find who I am and it’s amazing what Gods word can do for you

  25. Ashley L says:

    I have not opened this app in a very long time. Ready to dive in with you ladies

  26. Lindsay says:

    Wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve opened this app and read Gods word. Today’s reading could not have been more comforting. I just received word that my grandma, who has been battling cancer for the past couple years, is scheduled to have her right arm amputated in an attempt to remove the cancer from her body. In Jesus name I proclaim that on Monday when she goes in to that appointment the Doctors will look at her arm and proclaim you are healed! In Jesus name my grandma will be able to keep her right arm and be rid of the cancer that has kept her sick for too long! Glory to God! Amen!

    1. Lindsay says:

      Referring to Acts 3 reading.

    2. Linzie Schlotfeldt says:

      How is your grandma?

    3. Annika says:

      How is your grandma?

  27. Justina says:

    I just joined this plan. I’m praying so hard that I don’t relent after a while. I always do. I want to continue this journey with God. Please pray with me people. Pray for me.

  28. Aboks says:

    I’m blessed to be apart of this group may we encourage each other daily

  29. Aundrea C says:

    Reading these post have let me know I am not alone in my minor struggles with my walk with God. At times I forget to pray or to stay on track with a reading plan but seeing the encouragement on here, I know anything is possible so I am committed to change.

  30. Rebekah says:

    I find that playing “catch up” distracts me from what God is trying to teach me. He is not confined to the day of the week and the message assigned to it. Every bit of scripture can apply to you at any day or moment! I’m two days behind now. Stay in the word sisters and you will find yourself craving it more and more. Don’t be discouraged about your starting point or being behind. It’s okay! Just convene with our Father.

  31. Amber says:

    Asking for prayers, please. Last month I missed more than half of the readings and I had made a vow to myself to finish the readings this year. I know we all fall short and God can pick us back up so I’m asking please lift me up in prayers that I’ll keep on keeping on and get back to digging into the readings every day.

    1. Jayne says:

      Praying for you honey, I’m just starting out on this journey, xx

    2. Ashley says:

      God is sovereign!! I pray that the time that you DO spend in the word is fruitful and life-giving, that you would grow more and more in love with our Father and that you would be eager to come read the Bible, knowing that he loves you in your brokenness and comes to meet us where we are!!

    3. Abigail McQueen says:

      Of course! I can relate to you also, but I’ve found that if I keep persevering through the tough times, even when I don’t feel like picking up the Bible, I still persevere to “meditate on His law day and night” – Psalm 1:2. Just remember that, through the tough times, we are still ‘nourishing’ our souls as we read, even if we aren’t having a good day (Matthew 4:4) and that God uses it to transform us, immersing us with the WHOLE TRUTH! (Proverbs 3:5-6). I will be praying for you and all women out there who struggle with keeping on top of devotionals and, could I please ask for you to pray for me also as I read truth and that the time I spend with God each day is fruitful and unfailing.

  32. Andrea says:

    It was easy to seek God when life was going through some bumps. He lifted my family up and it was truly amazing. Now that life if more “normal” I’ve been lazy about putting Him first. I know this app is a great starting place to get back into the Word, but any other good groups or practices you’ve found have inspired you all?

    1. Haley says:

      Hi Andrea! So glad you’re part of this community. For my prayer life, I have a reminder on my phone that is scheduled daily in the morning to pray. I try everyday to not “dismiss” the reminder until I’ve actually prayed for those things I need to pray for. I come here to this reading plan to be in the Word and then I try and have daily prayer time every single day. The power of prayer is incredible and I totally see a difference in my life/relationship with Jesus when I’m actively and daily praying compared to when I’m not.

      1. Andrea says:

        Thank you Haley! I to have a daily devotional reminder that goes off every morning at 6 AM. But sometimes I do find myself in a rush and ignore it. I will set a daily reminder for prayer as well and see if that works for me! :)

  33. JB says:

    Bless you, Tina! God is right there with you as He has been all along. Seek His face and share your heart in prayer with Him everyday and you will feel yourself turning to Him.

  34. Tina Tuaimalo says:

    I have turned my back on God and wish to ask all of yous to pray for me to find my way back to him and his word, as this is my first bit of scripture that I have read on my journey trying to find myself again spiritually

    1. SarahMay says:

      Tina, welcome! I will be praying for you. This is a great place to start. May He be ever near you as you daily seek to be in His Word. He is delighted that you’ve taken this step! So are we!

    2. Ellen McCormick says:

      Tina, how beautiful as you turn back to the Lord to read these verses today:

      19 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, 20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, 21 whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.

      I pray you will find God very close to you! He wants that for you too.

  35. Morgan says:

    I am pretty confused- who is the beautiful person being described in songs of Solomon and who is It doing the describing? I don’t understand the context, i just started this plan and have no idea the context for this

    1. The context of Song of Solomon is a back and forth conversation between Solomon and a lover of His, it is the pursuit of affection towards his to-be wife. It is the thrill of the chase, and the capture (in marriage) and the thrill that continues forth. Many people also read it as a parallel between Christ’s pursuit of the church.

      1. Kimberly says:

        Morgan I literally laughed out loud because u took the words right out of my mouth! Rachel thank u!!

    2. Kimberly says:

      Morgan I literally laughed out loud because u took the words right out of my mouth! Rachel thank u!!

  36. Lindsey says:

    I have turned my back of God and I have finally found my way back. I am struggling in so many aspects of my life where something was just not right. I know that God is putting me back together piece by piece and I just ask for prayer as I start my journey back on the right track with God. I know God never turned his back on me even though I had turned my back on God. I am not where I need to be or want to be but I know by the Grace of God I will get there.

    1. Amanda3047 says:

      Lindsey, I feel the same way! I’ve strayed over the last 8 years since I left home. I have found myself missing my connection with God and wondering how I will ever get my life back on track and start living according to His will! It’s never too late…This passage really spoke to me:
      17 “And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18 But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled. 19 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, 20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, 21 whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.

      1. Lindsey says:

        Amanda, thank you so much for this.

  37. C says:

    Thank you all so much for your prayers! By the grace of God He has been giving me the strength needed to fight through it. I appreciate each one of you and hope that you will keep praying! I will be praying for you ladies and for Nicole. God is good and faithful!

  38. RoseBergamot says:

    Praying for you! Absolutely! I was just hearing a sermon this past weekend where the pastor spoke about how our thought life impacts our feelings and behavior so I just wanted to tell you that Jesus loves you. He loves you like no one else can. He loves you and he wants you to know you are loved. You are going to be well. What ever thought patterns led you here just know that they aren’t truth. You are precious and valuable to him.

  39. C says:

    Hello ladies! Love this group. If it’s ok, I need to confess a sin. I have struggled with an eating disorder for a number of years and know that Christ alone can free me. I do not desire to sin any longer but I need His power to transform my life. Please pray for me if you will. Thank you.

    1. Krystle says:

      Praying!! ❤️

    2. Angelica says:

      Praying!

    3. Christina says:

      Praying for you! With His strength, you can beat this!

    4. Absolutely praying for you! Jesus can and will set you free from this stronghold!

    5. Nicole says:

      I will pray for you everyday. I am in the same situation and have been dealing with bulimia since I was a sophomore in high school, I understand your pain. You are in my prayers, C

    6. Lauren says:

      C, I’m a week behind in this devotional, and am just now seeing this. Of course I will be praying! How are you doing this week since you’ve confessed? Have you told anyone close to you that can help you walk through this?

    7. Ramona4 says:

      You’re not alone in that area

    8. Faith says:

      Praying for you! Remember that God says in His word that we must eat in a way that honors Him. Keep that at heart and allow him to guide and heal you. His power is everlasting and WILL heal you in the name of Jesus!!!

    9. Maria says:

      Praying!

  40. Karen says:

    The lame man was immediately healed. Sometimes I forget to see the “immediate” in my life. I see all the other things that are “wrong.” And I forget that God can use me as an instrument of healing! But my favorite part? God meets us and this man where we are. I don’t have to be “perfect” to experience Him or to come to Him.

    And then Song of Solomon! My interpretation changes with my relationships. I understand it a little more every time I read it. When my husband is gone for work, I totally understand the “sick with love” bits.

  41. Sarah says:

    It’s amazing that Song of Solomon came from a man who had 1000 wives. This was confusing to me so I did a little research and it’s seems that in his depiction of marriage he knew what God intended. However he defied what he clearly knew was Gods intent for his married life and chose to have many brides which was his undoing. The many brides turned his heart towards other Gods.

    1. Kylee says:

      Thank you for looking into this, it confused me too! Anyone know why he keeps referencing his bride as his sister? Seems weird & a little creepy!

      1. Nicole says:

        A year late to the party here, but I wonder if he meant as a sister in Christ? We are all brothers and sisters in His name, yes? Just my thoughts on it, I also thought it was a little creepy!

      2. Stephanie says:

        A little late, but I have been told she isn’t an actual sister to him. It is like how in their day they would call a good friend brother or when one of the kings asked another king for help and would refer to himself as the other king’s son.

  42. Hannah Scifres says:

    Praise God for all

  43. Jessi says:

    All glory goes to Jesus! He is powerful within boundaries that deny him!

  44. Daniella says:

    Hello, I am new to this app. Very lovely people here, I see. I am struggling to sleep at 4am and I just wanted to get into the presence of God. His word is living water.

    1. C says:

      Amen. Keep reading, I promise you’ll enjoy it.

  45. Daniella says:

    Hello, I am new to this app. Very lovely people here, I see. I am struggling to sleep at 4am and I just wanted to get into the presence of God. His word is living water.

  46. Natalia Underwood says:

    I like this app just wished there was better translations.

  47. Mallory scott says:

    I love this book of the bible.

  48. KellieRay says:

    12 When Peter saw this, he said to them: “Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? His spirit living in us allows us to do great things, to show grace to our enemies. We don’t take the credit for it. Our enemies will question it and we must give credit to God!

    1. Daniella says:

      Which translation is this?

      1. Kim says:

        Go into Settings and it will show which version. I just downloaded this app and it was set at ESV automatically. So if you haven’t changed it, yours probably is too.

  49. Lola Princess says:

    I love this website is very uplifting and encouraging!

  50. Kiara Nichele says:

    Can’t see songs of solomon

    1. Samantha says:

      Nor can i

  51. Lucy says:

    I’m only 13 years of age but my dream is too one day uplift the word of Jesus !!

    1. Marina Fess says:

      You can do that right where you are(: every person of every age can be a soldier of Christ!

  52. 20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus,

  53. Alyssa Delizio says:

    It is amazing to think that in times of struggle, humans innately think negatively. It is not until we’ve made it through the storm do we realize that God has a better and bigger plan for us than we could have ever imagined for ourselves. In due time, after we realize our sins, we turn to God and ask for repentance because there is no other way to praise Him than to truly ask for a changed heart. Each person that turns to God in genuine repentance and faith will be saved.

  54. Gabrielle says:

    26 When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”
    In times where God helps us realize our sins, it is easy to think that he is burdening us. That we have yet another thing to fix. At least that’s what I am tempted to think. But in this verse, Paul reminds us that realization and repentance IS the blessing. The fact that Jesus will gently show us our sin and lead us to Him is grace and something to be grateful for. Only He can bring those changes in us.

    1. Cora Grace says:

      Beautiful way of putting that.

    2. Angelyn says:

      Ah, thanks so much for pointing this out. My to-do list is mounting, and sometimes it seems my spiritual to-do list is as well. But yes…repentance is a blessing. Thank you :)

    3. Dorea says:

      Thanks for the reminder. Conviction is a blessing and it strengthens us, though it is rough to experience initially.

  55. Lamia says:

    Wow, I feel like I just fed my soul…

  56. Nicolle says:

    Yes Song of Solomon has gone missing!

  57. Katrina P says:

    Caught up now! Acts 3:26 God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.” Amen!

  58. Emma Mcfarland says:

    Jesus is just awesome

    1. Alexis says:

      I agree! He is absolutely awesome!

  59. Lenette says:

    Song of Solomon is missing from mine as well.

  60. Kara* says:

    Song of Solomon wasn’t there yesterday or today for me. Anyone else experiencing this? I’m not reading ahead. It’s just not there.

    1. Antimony says:

      Several have mentioned that. I just went to the Bible section of the app and read it there

      1. Lenette says:

        They are missing from mine too.

    2. Deb says:

      I’m having the same problem. Wasn’t there yesterday or today. I checked ahead, and it’s missing from Monday too.

    3. Krystal says:

      I noticed that too. Just went online and read the chapters that they showed in the title of the devotion.

  61. Terri-Kate says:

    v. 26 God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.

    First for the Jew, then for the Gentile. God is so good to include Gentiles in His perfect plan!

  62. Suzanne says:

    Song of Solomon is there today for me. Maybe reading ahead makes for problems with verses not being loaded yet?

    1. Pam Blum says:

      It’s not a problem due to reading ahead. The app is having some problems loading the book because it has different titles depending on the translation: Song of Solomon or Song of Songs.

  63. Sandy says:

    19 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, 20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus,
    Love this!
    Regarding Song of Solomon not being here, I contacted SRT about it and they responded right away, saying that because of the different title in the different translations, the app was having trouble recognizing it, they hope to have it fixed soon.

    1. Leah Swindon says:

      Thanks for the update Sandy! And for pointing out those verses…I really resonate with them as well!

  64. Shirl says:

    6 But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” When I see beggars sometimes I feel I should give change because God has blessed me with so much. But the disciples gave more than that, they gave healing and hope. That is the biggest gift we can give others

    1. Josie says:

      Love this!!

    2. Ciana says:

      Amen !

    3. Claudia says:

      That is so good – hope heals.

  65. Antimony says:

    Acts 3:15 “You killed the Author of Life, whom God raised from the dead”. The Author of Life. The One who created everything and gave it life. But also the Author of eternal life. He died … and was raised to life again

  66. Brittany says:

    We can read that part in the Bible on our own :)

  67. Tennille says:

    Still not fixed. Still no Song of Solomon. :(

  68. Mary says:

    Shouldn’t this be fixed?

    1. Antimony says:

      You can find it in the Bible section on this app …

    2. Terri-Kate says:

      it’s there today!

  69. Mary says:

    No Song of Solomon. Strange
