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

DAY 24 OF 31

  

October 24

Introduction

Public officials are appointed, and they bear responsibility for the order and quality of life of the community. These officials are instructed to be fair-minded and impartial in their judgments. A court of appeal is also established, with the levitical priests having authority to render final decisions.

Today’s Scripture: Deuteronomy 16:20

Always be fair and just, so that you will occupy the land that the LORD your God is giving you and so that you will continue to live there.

Today’s Reading 

Deuteronomy 16:18—17:13

Reflect

Israel’s system of local government and courts was unique because it was based on God’s laws and the command to treat all people equally, whether they were rich or poor, powerful or weak.

How does that system compare with the legal system today? Does today’s legal system operate fairly and impartially?

Pray

Merciful and loving God, teach me to be fair and impartial in all my dealings with others. May I be guided by your laws and your righteousness. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Municipal judges

Tomorrow’s Reading

Micah 1:1-16: Micah announces the LORD’s judgment of Israel and Judah.
