Daily Bible Reading—July 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Mercy and Forgiveness

DAY 23 OF 31

July 23

Introduction

Zephaniah 1:1–18: The prophet Zephaniah preached in the latter part of the seventh century B.C. In today’s reading a day of doom and destruction is threatened when the people of Judah will be punished for worshiping other gods.

Today’s Key Verse: Zephaniah 1:14a

The great day of the LORD is near—very near and coming fast!

Reflect

What is God’s message to Zephaniah? Reread verses 4–9. What reasons are given for the people’s punishment? How is “the great day of the LORD” described (verses 14–18)? What were your thoughts when you read this message?

Pray

Almighty God, you alone are God and I worship you. Draw me close to you and keep me in your care. I seek to serve you always. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Zephaniah 2:1–15: Zephaniah declares that the LORD will punish Judah’s enemies.
