Daily Bible Reading - November 2020 God's Life-Giving Word of Praise and Thanksgivingনমুনা
November 13
Introduction
David desires to build a “house” (temple) in which to place the Covenant Box, and the prophet Nathan delivers God’s response.
Scripture Reading
1 Chronicles 17:1-15
Today’s Key Verse: 1 Chronicles 17:9a
[The LORD said:] “I have chosen a place for my people Israel and have settled them there, where they will live without being oppressed anymore.”
Reflect
This passage includes a play on the word “house” which can refer to the house (temple) that David wants to build, or to a dynasty comprised of David’s descendants. What message does the prophet Nathan bring to David? What does God promise?
Pray
God of promise, I know I belong to you. Rule in my heart forever. I long to serve you, and I glorify your holy name. Amen.
Prayer Concern

Tomorrow’s Reading
