Cael yr apDaily Bible Reading – June 2021, God’s Word of HopeSampl
June 28
Introduction
While Jerusalem is under siege by the Babylonian army and Jeremiah is imprisoned in King Zedekiah’s palace in Jerusalem, the LORD delivers a message of hope, promising to rebuild Judah and Israel and make them prosperous again. The LORD will also fulfill the promise concerning the Davidic dynasty by choosing a righteous king who will rule with justice.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Jeremiah 33:1-26
Today’s Key Verse: Jeremiah 33:26b
[The LORD said] “I will be merciful to my people and make them prosperous again.”
Reflect
When Jeremiah receives the LORD’s message (c. 588 B.C.), the destruction of Jerusalem is not far off. What aroused God’s anger against the city (verse 5)? What does God promise afterwards (verses 6-13)? What covenants does God promise to maintain (verses 19-22)? Do any of the verses in today’s reading offer you hope and comfort? Why or why not?
Pray
God of love and mercy, my hope is in you. Trusting in your promises, I proclaim your everlasting love. You are the God of my salvation. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those working to rebuild and restore communities ravaged by war and forces of nature
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 31: A prayer of trust in God.
