Daily Bible Reading, December 2022: God’s Renewing Word of Joyنموونە
December 7
Introduction
All first-born males are to be dedicated to the LORD, and Moses tells the people that they are to observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread every year.
Scripture Reading
Exodus 13:1-10
Today’s Key Verse: Exodus 13:9
[Moses said:] “This observance will be a reminder . . . it will remind you to continue to recite and study the Law of the LORD, because the LORD brought you out of Egypt by his great power.”
Reflect
As cited earlier in Exodus 12:15-20, instructions for celebrating the Festival of Unleavened Bread are given (verses 3-10). In what way does the Festival of Unleavened Bread provide an opportunity for teaching about God? Within your community of faith, are there observances that provide opportunities for teaching about God?
Pray
Lord God, teach me to study and follow your ways so that I continue to grow in knowledge of you. I trust in your great power and praise and glorify your holy name. Amen.
Tomorrow’ Reading
Exodus 13:11-22: God leads the people out of Egypt through the desert toward the Red Sea.
