Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Peace And JusticeMuestra
October 3
Introduction
The poor were those who were forced to sell their property or land and thus they were no longer able to make a living from it. Today’s reading commands the people of God to look after the needs of the poor.
Today’s Scripture: Leviticus 25:23
Your land must not be sold on a permanent basis, because you do not own it; it belongs to God, and you are like foreigners who are allowed to make use of it.
Today’s Reading
Leviticus 25:23-38
Reflect
How were the laws of ancient Israel set up to help those who were poor or those who had become poor? How are the poor cared for in your community? Does your community of faith play a role?
Pray
Holy God, I am your servant. May I honor you today by sharing your love and helping someone in need. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those facing foreclosure of their homes
Tomorrow’s Reading
Leviticus 25:39-55: The treatment and release of slaves is described.
