Daily Bible Reading – May 2022 God’s Renewing Word of Promiseনমুনা

May 31

Introduction

Today’s reading is considered a “royal psalm” that celebrates David and his descendants as God’s anointed rulers. As a song used in worship, the psalm also celebrates the reason people made pilgrimages to the Temple in Jerusalem (Zion), God’s chosen home (verse 13).

Scripture Reading

Psalm 132

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 132:13

The LORD has chosen Zion; he wants to make it his home.

Reflect

Today’s reading lifts up two events in the life of David—David capturing Jerusalem from the Jebusites and making the city the capital of a united Israel (2 Samuel 5:6-10) and bringing the Covenant Box to the new capital (2 Samuel 6).What was the vow that David made to God (verses 2-5)? Reread verses 10-12. What was the promise God made to David? What else did God promise (verses 13-18)?

Pray

Ever-Faithful God, your promise of love is eternal. With joy I sing your praises and worship you with a thankful heart. Amen.
