Daily Bible Reading – June 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of Spiritual RenewalSýnishorn
June 26
Introduction
Israel’s sins caused God’s holy name to be disgraced and led Israel’s enemies to believe that their God was not powerful enough to save them. For the sake of his name, God promises to cleanse Israel of its sins and give the people his spirit.
Today’s Reading
Ezekiel 36:16-38
Today’s Key Verse: Ezekiel 36:27
[The LORD said:] “I will put my spirit in you and will see to it that you follow my laws and keep all the commands I have given you.”
Reflect
Israel’s sins included murder, injustice, and worshiping idols. Such sins defiled the land and made it ritually unclean, and God’s holy name was disgraced. How did God punish the people for these sins? What promises does God make concerning restoration? What does God want the people to be reminded of (verses 31, 32)? In what ways have you experienced God’s cleansing?
Pray
Sovereign God, create in me a clean heart and cleanse me of all my sin. Give me an obedient heart and teach me to follow your laws and keep your commands. May all I do and say bring honor to your holy name. Thank you for the gift of your Holy Spirit and for your everlasting love. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those working to restore lands that have been destroyed by natural disasters
Tomorrow’s Reading
