获取软件Daily Bible Reading — Sustained by God’s Word of Joy预览
December 18
Introduction
Today’s reading is the second in a series of three oracles. It begins with a prophetic call to preach the good news, and the message includes words of comfort and consolation. A time of prosperity and everlasting joy is promised.
Today’s Scripture: Isaiah 61:11
As surely as seeds sprout and grow, The Sovereign LORD will save his people, And all the nations will praise him.
Today’s Reading
Isaiah 61:1-11
Reflect
Reread verses 1 and 2. Verse 1 describes the prophet as one who has been chosen and sent. Another word for “chosen” used in other translations is “anointed.” This indicates that the prophet has been chosen or anointed for a divine commission. What is the mission? What is the good news? Jesus quotes these verses in his inaugural sermon at the beginning of his public ministry (Luke 4:18, 19). What good news can you proclaim today?
Pray
Sovereign Lord, fill me with your Spirit and empower me to proclaim the good news of your love and salvation. Fill my heart with the joy and gladness that comes from you. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those who are broken-hearted and need comfort and healing
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 62:1-12: The prophet speaks words of encouragement.
