Daily Bible Reading—July 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Mercy and ForgivenessSample
July 18
Introduction
Ezekiel 33:1–20: In reminding Ezekiel of his appointment to serve as a watchman or lookout for Israel (see Ezekiel 3:16–21), God tells the prophet that his role is to convey to the people any warnings that God gives him.
Today’s Key Verse: Ezekiel 33:19
[The LORD said:] “When someone evil quits sinning and does what is right and good, he has saved his life.”
Reflect
What instructions does Ezekiel receive from God (verses 7–9)? According to verse 11, what does God desire? What does this say about God’s character? Reread verses 12–20. What are your thoughts about what God says about those who are considered “good” and those who are considered “evil”?
Pray
Sovereign God, keep me from sinning so that all I say and do is pleasing in your sight. Help me each day to do what is right. Your teachings and your law give life, and I seek to serve you according to your will. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Ezekiel 36:1–15: God promises to restore Israel.
