Daily Bible Reading – May 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word of FaithSample

  

May 9

Introduction

Today’s reading teaches that we are surrounded by faithful witnesses from the past and present. This “large crowd” is like a hometown crowd cheering us on as we run the race of faith. The reading concludes by affirming God’s treatment of us as his children.

Today’s Scripture: Hebrews 12:2a

Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end.

Today’s Reading 

Hebrews 12:1-11

Reflect

In verses 7-11, the relationship between God and people is described as that of a father and child. What are your thoughts regarding the Lord correcting everyone he loves (verse 6)? What is the purpose of correction or punishment?

Pray

Lord Jesus, keep my eyes fixed on you. My faith is dependent on you. You died on a cross and are now seated at the right side of God’s throne. I thank and praise you for your sacrificial love. Amen.
