Daily Bible Reading—April 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Hopeنموونە
April 17
Introduction
Isaiah 35:1–10: The land of God’s people is pictured as blooming and rejoicing because the LORD will bring his people back from exile. The people will return on a highway called “The Road of Holiness” that the LORD will prepare.
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 35:2b
Everyone will see the LORD’s splendor, see his greatness and power.
Reflect
Water was the most precious natural resource in the dry lands where God’s people lived. The image of a dry land turning into a land “filled with springs” (verse 7) symbolizes God’s abundance. In what ways do you experience God’s abundance in your life?
Pray
God of abundance, your Word today is one of gladness and joy. Open my eyes, ears, and heart to your splendor so that I can proclaim your greatness and power. Help me to follow your Road of Holiness. I will sing and shout your praise. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 40:1–17: The prophet Isaiah offers words of hope.
