Daily Bible Reading – October 2021: God’s Word of Justice

JOU 29 SOU 31

October 29

Introduction

Today’s reading is a shift from the promise of future restoration, as described in chapters 4 and 5, back to the current situation. Israel is called upon to defend itself, and the LORD acts as prosecutor. The LORD reminds the people of what He requires of them. He also reminds them that those who engage in dishonest business practices and those who exploit the poor will be punished.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Micah 6:1-16

Today’s Key Verse: Micah 6:8

The LORD has told us what is good. What he requires of us is this: to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God.

Reflect

How does the LORD begin the case against Israel (verse 3)? Of what does the LORD remind the people (verses 4 and 5)? Have you ever forgotten the ways in which God has blessed you? Reread verses 6-8. What does God require in order to restore a broken relationship with Him? 

Pray

Loving Heavenly Father, I want to do what You require of me: to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with You. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Prayer Concern

Court-appointed legal defenders

Tomorrow’s Reading

Micah 7:1-20: Micah laments the moral corruption of the people.
