Daily Bible Reading – July 2023, God’s Saving Word: Mercy and ForgivenessSample
July 25
Introduction
Amid harsh words of judgment, God's saving acts in history are recalled. Yet the people continue to sin by engaging in idolatry and turning away from God.
Scripture Reading
Hosea 13:1-16
Today's Key Verse: Hosea 13:4
The LORD says, "I am the LORD your God, who led you out of Egypt. You have no God but me. I alone am your savior."
Reflect
Reread verses 4-7. What do these verses indicate about God? How did the people respond to what God had done for them? In what ways do you experience God's beneficial acts of love and care?
Pray
Lord God, you alone are my God and my Savior. I worship only you, and daily will I praise you for your steadfast love and care. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Hosea 14:1-9: Hosea urges the people to return to the LORD.
