Daily Bible Reading - August 2020 God's Life-Giving Word of Forgiveness and Mercyનમૂનો
August 18
Introduction
Again, God tells Jonah to go to Nineveh and preach to the people. Jonah delivers a brief message (verse 4), the people heed Jonah’s warning, and God chooses not to punish them.
Scripture Reading
Jonah 3:1-10
Today’s Key Verse: Jonah 3:8b
“Everyone must pray earnestly to God and must give up their wicked behavior and their evil actions.”
Reflect
Do you sense that Jonah was still reluctant to obey God? Why or why not? What was Jonah’s message to the people? How did the people of Nineveh respond? What did the king do and say? What does today’s reading teach you about God?
Pray
God of love and mercy, you look upon me with compassion and are ready to forgive me when I come to you with a humble and repentant heart and confess to you my wrongdoings. I thank and praise you for loving me so. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those seeking God’s will and desire to change their behavior patterns
Tomorrow’s Reading
Jonah 4:1-11: Jonah is angry with God.
