Daily Bible Reading – June 2021, God’s Word of Hopeنموونە
June 14
Introduction
This passage is a song of victory for the Hebrew people. It celebrates God’s protection and affirms the faithfulness of the people. It says that God can be trusted to bring justice for all who obey, and to give new life to those experiencing death.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Isaiah 26:1-19
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 26:3
You, LORD, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you.
Reflect
Reread verses 15-18. God promised to give Abraham’s descendants, the people of Israel, their own land (Genesis 15:18-21; 17:1-8). The promise of regaining their land provided great hope to the people of Israel and Judah who had been forced to leave. Who is living in exile in our world today? How might these words provide hope for them?
Pray
God of hope and justice, be present with refugees around the world. Be present in the political, social, and environmental situations that force people to leave their land and fill them with a sense of your presence wherever they go. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Refugees
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 35:1-10: Israel is renewed as the exiles return home.
