Daily Bible Reading – July 2023, God’s Saving Word: Mercy and Forgiveness

DAY 20 OF 31

July 20

Introduction

The people have broken their covenant with the LORD and have made idols out of silver and gold. They have rejected the LORD's teachings and will be punished.

Scripture Reading

Hosea 8:1-14

Today's Key Verse: Hosea 8:12

The LORD says: "I write down countless teachings for the people, but they reject them as strange and foreign."

Reflect

Reread verses 4-10. In what ways has Israel demonstrated rejection of the LORD's teachings? What will be the consequence of Israel's alliance with Assyria? According to verse 13, what punishment will be inflicted on the people?

Pray

Sovereign God, you are my Maker. May I never forget your teachings. Day by day, help me to grow in knowledge of you. Amen.

Tomorrow's Reading

Hosea 9:1-14: The prophet Hosea announces Israel's punishment.
