Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Peace And JusticeSample

October 17
Introduction
Today’s reading is part of Moses’s second speech and includes the heart of Israel’s religion—the Law that God gave to Moses and the people. Moses recounts God’s covenant with the Israelites and the commandments they were given at Mount Sinai. (A parallel account is in Exodus 20:1-17, the reading from October 1).
Today’s Scripture: Deuteronomy 5:22a
[Moses said:] “These are the commandments the LORD gave to all of you when you were gathered at the mountain.”
Today’s Reading
Deuteronomy 5:1-22

Sovereign God, teach me to listen to your voice and to obey your commandments. Remind me of your mighty deeds and of your steadfast love, mercy, and care. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those who are learning the Ten Commandments
Tomorrow’s Reading
