Daily Bible Reading – April 2022: God’s Renewing Word of Hopeნიმუში

April 22

Introduction

In today’s reading, the apostle Paul quotes from the prophets Hosea and Isaiah to emphasize how God will invite people from all nations to be called God’s children. The chapter concludes with Paul comparing those who are put right with God through faith with those who were seeking to be put right with God through a law.

Scripture Reading

Romans 9:19-33

Today’s Key Verse: Romans 9:24

[The apostle Paul writes:] For we are the people he called, not only from among the Jews but also from among the Gentiles.

Reflect

What does Paul say about God in verses 22 and 23? Instead of showing anger against those who were doomed for destruction, what did God do? What does today’s reading teach you about God?

Pray

Gracious God, I thank you for revealing your abundant glory, for your patience, and for pouring out your mercy. You are the living God, and, through faith, I am humbled to be among the people you have called as your own. Amen.
