Daily Bible Reading - October 2020: God’s Life-Giving Word of Justice and PeaceSample
October 25
Introduction
In today’s reading, the prophet warns the people to avoid idolatry and points out the foolishness of worshiping other gods. The reading concludes with a hymn of praise to God.
Scripture Reading
Jeremiah 10:1-16
Today’s Key Verse: Jeremiah 10:6
LORD, there is no one like you; you are mighty, and your name is great and powerful.
Reflect
To what does Jeremiah compare idols (verse 5)? What do you think of this description? How does Jeremiah describe the LORD (verses 6, 7, 10)? What do you find most striking in Jeremiah’s comparison of false gods to the one true God?
Pray
Holy God, LORD Almighty is your name. There is no one like you, and I praise your great and powerful name. You made everything, and you are the true and living God. May all I do and say this day bring honor and glory to you. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those who put their trust in false gods
Tomorrow’s Reading
Jeremiah 29:1-23: The prophet Jeremiah sends a letter to the Jewish exiles in Babylonia.
