Daily Bible Reading, July 2022: God’s Renewing Word of Faith

DAY 26 OF 31

July 26

Introduction

The chapter opens with brief descriptions of two of Israel’s judges, Tola and Jair. Then the Israelites disobey the LORD by worshiping foreign gods, and the Philistines and the Ammonites conquer them. Once again, the Israelites cry out to the LORD for deliverance from their enemies, but God chooses not to rescue them. The people then get rid of their Canaanite idols and the LORD becomes “troubled over Israel’s distress” (verse 16). The reading concludes with the Israelites questioning who will lead them in battle against their enemy, the Ammonites.

Scripture Reading

Judges 10:1-18

Today’s Key Verse: Judges 10:16a

They got rid of their foreign gods and worshiped the LORD.

Reflect

Reread verses 10-14. How does God respond to the cries of the Israelites? Are you surprised by God’s response? Why or why not? What are your thoughts about this recurring cycle of the people turning away from God, experiencing punishment in the form of oppression by their enemies, and then crying out to God to be saved? Are there times in your life when you have not put God first?

Pray

Holy God, you alone are God and I worship only you. Teach me each day to remember and to thank you for your steadfast love and care and help me to avoid any temptation that would lead me astray. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Judges 11:1-28: The Israelites ask Jephthah to be their leader.
