Daily Bible Reading – May 2022 God’s Renewing Word of PromiseSample
May 31
Introduction
Today’s reading is considered a “royal psalm” that celebrates David and his descendants as God’s anointed rulers. As a song used in worship, the psalm also celebrates the reason people made pilgrimages to the Temple in Jerusalem (Zion), God’s chosen home (verse 13).
Scripture Reading
Psalm 132
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 132:13
The LORD has chosen Zion; he wants to make it his home.
Reflect
Today’s reading lifts up two events in the life of David—David capturing Jerusalem from the Jebusites and making the city the capital of a united Israel (2 Samuel 5:6-10) and bringing the Covenant Box to the new capital (2 Samuel 6).What was the vow that David made to God (verses 2-5)? Reread verses 10-12. What was the promise God made to David? What else did God promise (verses 13-18)?
Pray
Ever-Faithful God, your promise of love is eternal. With joy I sing your praises and worship you with a thankful heart. Amen.
