Daily Bible Reading – May 2023, God’s Saving Word: Faith

DAY 1 OF 31

May 1

Introduction

Today’s reading provides us with a listing of people of great faith and the actions and risks they took in response to their faith. The account begins with Abel and continues to Joseph. We learn that faith is the way to please God.

Scripture Reading

Hebrews 11:1-22

Today’s Key Verse: Hebrews 11:1

To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.

Reflect

In what ways does faith provide you with a sure hope? Among all the people mentioned in today’s reading, are there any who are unfamiliar to you? Perhaps today’s reading will encourage you to find and read their stories in the Bible. (The stories of those mentioned in today’s reading can be found in the book of Genesis.) Are there any whose journey of faith reflects your own? In what ways?

Pray

Holy God, thank you for all your faithful servants. Thank you for mentors and teachers you have placed in my life. May I continue to grow in faith, trusting in your promises. Amen.

And now, join us in prayer for the work of the Bible Society in sharing God’s Word in China. Loving God, China has the largest population of any country on Earth, and its people have a tremendous need for your Word. We pray, Lord God, that the people of China will come to know you and your promise of life. Thank you, dear God, for the faithful supporters who are helping people in China to have access to Bibles. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Hebrews 11:23-40: The listing of people of faith continues.
