Daily Bible Reading - July 2020 God's Life-Giving Word of Promise

DAY 23 OF 31

  


July 23


Introduction


Esther invites the king and Haman to a second banquet and tells the king about the plot to destroy her people. When she reveals that Haman instigated this plot, the king orders that Haman be executed on the very gallows that Haman had built for Mordecai.


Scripture Reading 


Esther 6:14—7:10


Today’s Key Verse: Esther 7:3


Queen Esther answered, “If it please Your Majesty to grant my humble request, my wish is that I may live and that my people may live.”


Reflect


What did Haman do when he realized that he was about to be punished? What did the king surmise? In today’s reading, Esther reveals her identity when she refers to the Jews as her people (verses 3 and 4). Was this a risky thing for her to do? Why or why not?


Pray


Sovereign God, you are a God of justice and mercy. Look upon all who live under the threat of oppressive regimes and safeguard those who seek peaceful resolutions to conflicts in our world today. Amen.


Prayer Concern


Victims of genocide.


Tomorrow’s Reading


Esther 8:1-17: The Jews are told to fight back.
