Daily Bible Reading - July 2020 God's Life-Giving Word of Promise

DAY 31 OF 31

  


July 31


Introduction


While Jerusalem is under siege by the Babylonian army and Jeremiah is imprisoned in King Zedekiah’s palace in Jerusalem, the LORD delivers a message of hope, promising to rebuild Judah and Israel and make them prosperous again. The LORD will also fulfill the promise concerning the Davidic dynasty by choosing a righteous king who will rule with justice. 


Scripture Reading 


Jeremiah 33:1-26


Today’s Key Verse: Jeremiah 33:26b


[The LORD said:] “I will be merciful to my people and make them prosperous again.”


Reflect


When Jeremiah receives the LORD’s message (c. 588 B.C.), the destruction of Jerusalem is not far off. What aroused God’s anger against the city (verse 5)? What does God promise afterwards (verses 6-13)? What covenants does God promise to maintain (verses 19-22)? Do any of the verses in today’s reading offer you hope and comfort? Why or why not?


Pray


God of love and mercy, my hope is in you. Trusting in your promises, I proclaim your everlasting love. You are the God of my salvation. Amen.


Prayer Concern


Those working to rebuild and restore communities ravaged by war, civil strife, and forces of nature.
