Daily Bible Reading—March 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Prayer

DAY 15 OF 31

March 15

Introduction

Esther 9:1–19: In today’s reading, the Jews destroy their enemies, along with Haman’s ten sons, in the capital city, Susa, and throughout all the provinces.

Today’s Key Verse: Esther 9:16a

The Jews in the provinces also organized and defended themselves.

Reflect

What did Esther ask the king to do with the bodies of Haman’s sons? What message would such a public display have conveyed? Verse 15 records that the Jews killed their enemies but “did no looting,” an indication that they were fighting for survival and not for material gain. What instances can you identify of people today who are struggling to survive?

Pray

God of grace and mercy, you alone are God and worthy of praise. You are indeed mighty, and I am in awe of your wondrous deeds. Thank you, Lord God, for your saving love. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Esther 9:20–32: The festival of Purim is celebrated.
