Daily Bible Reading – December 2021: God’s Word of Joy

8. NAP A(Z) 31-BÓL/-BŐL

December 8

Introduction

The Persian leader Cyrus is chosen by the LORD to free God’s people who have been held captive and to rebuild Jerusalem (verse 13). The holy God of Israel is the LORD of creation and history and is the only true God.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Isaiah 45:1-25

Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 45:22

“Turn to me now and be saved, people all over the world! I am the only God there is.”

Reflect

The word translated as “chosen” in verse 1 is the Hebrew word for messiah or anointed one. Cyrus is the only non-Israelite in the Bible to be referenced in this way. What has God chosen him to do? How is God described in verses 12-19? Is there someone you know who needs to learn about God’s saving love?

Pray

Lord God, I kneel before you and place my trust in you. Your promises are true and in you alone can true victory and strength be found. Amen.

Prayer Concern

World leaders

Tomorrow’s Reading

Isaiah 48:1-22: God is LORD of the future.
