Introduction

Jeremiah 33:14–26: The LORD will fulfill the promise concerning David’s dynasty by choosing a righteous king who will rule with justice, and Jerusalem will be a place of safety.

Today’s Key Verse: Jeremiah 33:26b

[The LORD said:] “I will be merciful to my people and make them prosperous again.”

Reflect

By what name will Jerusalem be known (verse 16)? What covenants does God promise to maintain (verses 19–22)? What verses in today’s reading speak of hope?

Pray

God of love and mercy, my hope is in you. Trusting in your promises, I proclaim your everlasting love. You are the God of my salvation. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Haggai 1:1–15: The prophet Haggai encourages the people who returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple.
