Daily Bible Reading – April 2023 God’s Saving Word: HopeExemplo

April 29 Introduction Christians are warned to be on guard against false teachers, against whom harsh words are directed. Today’s reading includes examples from the past of how evil was punished and how God saved those who were faithful. Scripture Reading 2 Peter 2:1-22 Today’s Key Verse: 2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials and how to keep the wicked under punishment for the Day of Judgment. Reflect Yesterday’s reading ended with the writer stating that true prophetic messages that come from God are spoken by those who are under the control of the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21). How are the false prophets and teachers described in today’s reading? Reread verses 20-22. What is your reaction to the statement about those who learned the “way of righteousness” but turned away from what they were taught? Pray Lord Jesus, help me to discern and heed your voice always so that I am not led astray by those who distort your teachings. Keep me strong in faith and guided by your Word of truth. Amen. Tomorrow’s Reading 2 Peter 3:1-18: The Lord’s return is promised.
