Få appenDaily Bible Reading, July 2022: God’s Renewing Word of FaithPrøve
July 20
Introduction
After forty years of peace, the people of Israel once again sin against the LORD. The people of Midian rule over them for seven years, and the Israelites cry out to the LORD for help. An angel of the LORD appears to Gideon with the message that Gideon has been chosen to rescue the Israelites from the Midianites.
Scripture Reading
Judges 6:1-27
Today’s Key Verse: Judges 6:12
The LORD’s angel appeared to [Gideon] there and said, “The LORD is with you, brave and mighty man!”
Reflect
Reread verses 2-6. Besides attacking the Israelites, what else did the Midianites do? What message did the prophet deliver from the LORD (verses 8-10)? Then an angel of the LORD spoke to Gideon (verses 11-12). How did Gideon respond to the angel’s message (verse 13)? Why did he ask for proof (verse 17)? Why did Gideon think he was not the right person to rescue Israel (verses 15)? Have you ever been called upon to do a task that you felt was beyond your capabilities? If so, what did you do?
Pray
Sovereign God, you alone are God, and I worship you and praise your holy name. You are my true source of strength, and I place my trust in you. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
