Daily Bible Reading – October 2021: God’s Word of JusticeSample
October 24
Introduction
Today we begin reading the book of the Prophet Micah. He was from a country town in Judah, the southern kingdom, and was convinced that Judah was about to face the same kind of national catastrophe that Amos had predicted for Israel, the northern kingdom. The book is a collection of oracles, and the first chapter begins with a message of doom. The prophet calls upon the people to listen to the LORD.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Micah 1:1-16
Today’s Key Verse: Micah 1:3
The LORD is coming from his holy place; he will come down and walk on the tops of the mountains.
Reflect
What sins have the people committed? What will be the consequences? How is Micah expressing his sorrow (verse 8)? What does he say to the people of Judah (verse 16)? How do you express sorrow or remorse?
Pray
Lord God, from Your heavenly temple You see everything we do. You know my faults and shortcomings. Order my steps this day so that what I do is pleasing in Your sight. In Jesus' holy Name, I pray. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those feeling remorseful and seeking to be reconciled to God
Tomorrow’s Reading
Micah 2:1-13: Micah continues to deliver God’s message of judgment.
