Daily Bible Reading – October 2022: God’s Renewing Word of Peace and JusticeSample
October 4
Introduction
In this psalm, the writer appeals to God for justice due to being falsely accused. The writer expresses confidence in God’s righteousness, and the psalm affirms that the wicked will be punished and that God’s justice will triumph.
Scripture Reading
Psalm 7
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 7:17
I thank the LORD for his justice; I sing praises to the LORD, the Most High.
Reflect
What does the psalm writer ask of God? Is the writer seeking revenge or justice? Or both? Have you ever experienced a time when you sought God’s justice? If so, what took place?
Pray
Righteous God, you are the judge of all people. You know my thoughts and desires. Forgive me when I stray and act in ways that are displeasing to you. Order my steps this day and guide me in the way of truth. I praise you, Lord Most High, for your mercy and steadfast love. Amen.
