Daily Bible Reading—June 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Promise

DAY 19 OF 30

June 19

Introduction

Isaiah 38:1–20: King Hezekiah of Judah reigned from 716–687 B.C. Isaiah chapters 36 and 37 recount God’s deliverance of Jerusalem during the Assyrian siege of the city in 701 B.C. and the death of the Assyrian monarch. Today’s reading focuses on Hezekiah’s illness during this time and God’s response when Hezekiah turns to God for help. [In today’s reading, note that verses 21 and 22 are inserted after verse 6.]

Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 38:16a

Lord, I will live for you, for you alone.

Reflect

What was Hezekiah’s prayer (verses 2–3)? What was the LORD’s response (verses 4–6)? What was the sign of the LORD’s promise to Hezekiah (verses 7–8)? (The stairway may refer to one in the palace courtyard or perhaps some kind of sundial.) How would you describe Hezekiah’s song of praise (verses 9–20)? If you have ever experienced recovery from an illness, what was your response to your healing?

Pray

Lord God, you are the true source of life, and I thank and praise you for your steadfast presence in my life and hearing my prayers. When in need, I know I can turn to you for help, trusting in your constant love and care. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Jeremiah 29:1–23: Jeremiah writes to the exiles in Babylonia.
