Daily Bible Reading – July 2023, God’s Saving Word: Mercy and ForgivenessSample

July 6
Introduction
In today’s reading, God appears to Moses at Mount Sinai in the form of a flame coming from a bush. God tells Moses that he has been chosen to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. God’s divine name is revealed to Moses.
Scripture Reading
Exodus 3:1-22
Today’s Key Verse: Exodus 3:14, 15b
God said, “I am who I am. You must tell them: ‘The one who is called I AM has sent me to you.’ … This is my name forever; this is what all future generations are to call me.”
Reflect
How does Moses respond to what God asks of him (verse 11)? What assurance does God give Moses (verse 12)? The revealing of God’s divine name (verses 14, 15) is an early form of the Hebrew verb “to be” (hwh). Why does Moses want to know God’s name? What does God tell Moses to say to the people?
Pray
Almighty God, you are the one who is called I AM, and I know that you are with me always. Guide me this day and lead me in the way of your truth. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Exodus 4:1-17: God gives Moses miraculous power.
Scripture
