Daily Bible Reading – October 2023, "God’s Saving Word: Justice and Peace"

DAY 29 OF 31

October 29

Introduction

Jeremiah says that God will restore the people of the southern tribes of Judah and bring them home. God promises to make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah, putting the law within them and writing the law on their hearts.

Scripture Reading

Jeremiah 31:23‒40

Today’s Key Verse: Jeremiah 31:34b

[The LORD says:] “I will forgive their sins and I will no longer remember their wrongs.”

Reflect

Reread verses 31‒34. This is the high point of Jeremiah’s message. In God’s new agreement with the people of Israel and Judah, God will write the laws directly on the hearts and minds of the people, and God will forgive their sins. What does having God’s law written on your heart mean to you?

Pray

Loving and merciful God, thank you for being my God and for your law which is now written on my heart. Open my heart and mind to your Word, that I may live each day in accord with your will. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Deuteronomy 1:9‒18: Moses delivers his first speech to the Israelites who are preparing to enter the Promised Land.
