Daily Bible Reading - October 2020: God’s Life-Giving Word of Justice and Peace

DÍA 22 DE 31

  

October 22

Introduction

Today’s reading catalogues the sins of the people and includes a warning of an impending attack from a strong and ancient nation.

Scripture Reading 

Jeremiah 5:1-19

Today’s Key Verse: Jeremiah 5:3a

Surely the LORD looks for faithfulness.

Reflect

In verses 4 and 5, Jeremiah speaks of the people who were “poor and ignorant” and “the people in power.” What reason does he give for both groups not doing what God requires? Is ignorance an excuse for not doing what God requires? Why or why not?  Reread verses 7-11. What were the sins of the people? Why was their sinful behavior considered an act of betrayal? Micah 6:8 states that “to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God” is what God requires. In what ways do you exhibit your faithfulness to God and what God requires? 

Pray

Lord God, keep me faithful and help me to remember to do what you require and not betray your love for me and the goodness and mercy you bless me with each day. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who have experienced betrayal

Tomorrow’s Reading

Jeremiah 5:20-31: The people are warned that the LORD will take revenge.
