Laai die Bybeltoep afDaily Bible Reading – October 2021: God’s Word of JusticeVoorbeeld
October 8
Introduction
Today’s reading begins with a description of a time of judgment for the people of the earth for their sins, followed by a description of a redeemed creation.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Isaiah 26:20—27:13
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 27:13b
A trumpet will be blown to call back from Assyria and Egypt all the Israelites who are in exile there. They will come and worship the LORD in Jerusalem, on his sacred hill.
Reflect
The restored Israel is described as a fruitful vineyard (27:2-6). You may wish to compare these verses with those in Isaiah 5:1-7 (the reading for October 4). What differences can you identify? Reread 27:7-9. How did the LORD punish the people? What do the people need to do in order to be forgiven? How do you seek God’s forgiveness?
Pray
God of restoration and mercy, gather Your people and teach us Your ways of justice and peace. Have pity on us when we stray, and call us to repentance. Lord God, hear our prayer. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Prayer Concern
Loved ones returning home
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 30:8-26: The people will be blessed.
