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

DAY 11 OF 31

December 11

Introduction

The prophet predicts that God will create new heavens and a new earth that will be marked by peace, happiness, and abundance. The new Jerusalem will be a place of good health, long life, and prosperity. 

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Isaiah 65:17-25

Today’s Key Verse:  Isaiah 65:18

Be glad and rejoice forever in what I create. The new Jerusalem I make will be full of joy, and her people will be happy.

Reflect

Heaven and earth are included in the promise of a new future for Jerusalem and its people. Describe the “new earth and new heavens” (verse 17) the LORD was creating. If our world could have a fresh new start today, what would change? 

Pray

Loving God, even as I look toward the hope of a new heaven and a new earth, ground me in this time and place, that I may bring a glimpse of your new realm to a world in need. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Terminally ill children

Tomorrow’s Reading
