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

DAY 17 OF 31

  

October 17

Introduction

Today’s reading begins with a catalog of the people’s sins. The people confess their sin, and the LORD promises to rescue them.

Scripture Reading 

Isaiah 59:1-21

Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 59:21a

[The LORD says:] “And I make a covenant with you: I have given you my power and my teachings to be yours forever.”

Reflect

What sins does the prophet bring to the people’s attention (verses 1-8)? How do the people respond (verse 9-11)? What do the people confess (verses 12-15)? Reread verse 21. What does it mean to you to be in a covenant relationship with God?  According to verse 21, what does God require?

Pray

Lord God, you have given us your teachings. Help me to obey you and teach others about you and your everlasting love. Reign in my heart forever. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who mentor others in faith

Tomorrow’s Reading

Jeremiah 1:1-19: God calls Jeremiah to be a prophet.
