September 2026 Bible Reading Plan
As we step into September, I want to challenge you to build your life on a faith that cannot be shaken.
Faith is more than believing God exists—it is trusting His character, standing on His Word, obeying His voice, and moving forward even when you cannot yet see the outcome.
We live in a world filled with fear, uncertainty, and voices constantly telling us what cannot be done. But the people of God were never called to live according to what they see. We are called to walk by faith.
Throughout Scripture, ordinary men and women trusted an extraordinary God and watched Him do what only He could do. They faced giants, impossible circumstances, opposition, lack, storms, and uncertainty—but faith kept them moving.
This month, I want us to strengthen that kind of faith together. As you read each passage, ask the Holy Spirit to show you where you need to trust God more deeply, where you need to take a step of obedience, and where fear has tried to replace faith.
My prayer is that by the end of September, your confidence will not be in circumstances, people, or what you can accomplish in your own strength, but in the God who is faithful to His Word.

CLOSING ENCOURAGEMENT
As we come to the end of September, my prayer is that faith has become more than something you talk about—it has become the way you live.
Faith does not mean you will never face a battle. It means you know who stands with you in the battle.
Faith does not mean you will always understand what God is doing. It means you trust Him even when you do not understand.
Faith does not deny the existence of the giant. Faith simply knows that the giant is not greater than God.
We have read about men and women who walked through fire, crossed seas, faced armies, stood before giants, prayed through impossible circumstances, believed for miracles, and obeyed God when His instructions did not make sense in the natural.
What made the difference was not their own strength. It was the God they trusted.
So as you move into the next month, don’t go backward.
Keep believing.
Keep praying.
Keep standing on the Word.
Keep listening to the Holy Spirit.
Keep obeying what God has told you to do.
There is still more God wants to do in you, through you, and around you.
Walk by faith.
Stand on His Word.
And never forget—the God who called you is faithful.
