获取软件Daily Bible Reading - October 2020: God’s Life-Giving Word of Justice and Peace预览
October 10
Introduction
Today’s reading is a prophecy of hope for the Israelites who have been oppressed by the Assyrians. (The Assyrian oppression and attack are described in Isaiah 10). The prophecy is in the form of an oracle about a new king who will arise and who will be a descendant of David. This king’s reign will usher in a time of peace and the restoration of Israel and Judah, and those who had been living in exile will return home.
Scripture Reading
Isaiah 11:1-16
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 11:2, 3a
The spirit of the LORD will give him wisdom and the knowledge and skill to rule his people. He will know the LORD’s will and honor him, and find pleasure in obeying him.
Reflect
The chapter opens with an oracle concerning a king who will be a descendant of David. Christians interpret this passage as referring to Jesus, the Messiah (see Luke 1:32). How is this king described (verses 2-5)? How is his kingdom described (verses 6-9)? How do you envision a world in which peace reigns?
Pray
God of love and peace, teach me to know your will. My desire is to honor and obey you. May your justice reign throughout the earth. Your kingdom come, O Lord! Amen.
Prayer Concern
Nations involved in peace negotiations
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 32:1-20: A king who will rule with integrity is promised.
