Today's Bible reading is the 10th chapter of the Book of Romans. You can read it here at Bible Gateway: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+10&version=NASB

Today's scripture reading reminds us that the basis of the glorious news of the gospel of Christ is found in the gospel itself and that it is not dependent upon men to esteem it so. The "good news of good things" that we are privileged to know and to share is good because He is good. The rejection by the masses regarding the truth and validity of the gospel message has no bearing on the goodness of the message. The Apostle Paul's heart's desire and prayer to God was for the salvation of his Jewish brethren. He knew first hand that a "zeal for God", that was not in accordance with knowledge from God, was in the end, futility. Like they, he had sought to establish his own righteousness up until the day that he came to know the Righteous One by name; the name of Jesus. He then became one of those whose "beautiful feet" took him on his life's journey preaching the glorious truths of the gospel. May we be counted among those who have been "sent" by God to bear the good news of the gospel of His Son.
