Daily Bible Reading—June 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Promiseಮಾದರಿ
June 9
Introduction
Genesis 35:1–15: Today’s reading has Jacob returning to Bethel (see yesterday’s reading). In the intervening years, Jacob has married, had children, and reconciled with his brother Esau (see Genesis chapters 29—33). Jacob receives God’s blessing and is given a new name as God again reiterates the promise made to his ancestors Abraham and Isaac.
Today’s Key Verse: Genesis 35:11
God said to him, “I am Almighty God. Have many children. Nations will be descended from you, and you will be the ancestor of kings.”
Reflect
What did Jacob tell his family to do (verses 2–3)? What was God’s message to Jacob (verses 10–12)? What new name was Jacob given? Jacob set up and consecrated a memorial stone at Bethel (verse 14), as he had done before (Genesis 28:18). In what ways does your community of faith consecrate items or places as memorials?
Pray
Almighty God, daily I thank and praise you for your blessings. Help me serve you and share your blessings with those I meet today. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 61: Finding safety with God.
