Daily Bible Reading - October 2020: God’s Life-Giving Word of Justice and PeaceSample
October 7
Introduction
Today’s reading begins with an oracle of judgment against Jerusalem and Judah and concludes with the way in which the LORD will judge the people.
Scripture Reading
Isaiah 3:1-15
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 3:10
The righteous will be happy, and things will go well for them. They will get to enjoy what they have worked for.
Reflect
How will the LORD deal with the people’s disobedience and why are they doomed (verses 1-9)?
What are your thoughts about these punishments? How will the righteous be treated (verse 10)? What is the fate of those who are evil (verse 11)? Reread verses 13-15. What accusations are brought against the nation’s leaders? What does today’s reading teach you about God’s justice?
Pray
Almighty God, you are righteous in all your judgments. Teach me to obey your laws so that I serve you in ways that reflect your love and glorify you. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Victims of fraud
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 4:2—5:7: A time will come when Jerusalem will be restored.
