Daily Bible Reading – October 2023, "God’s Saving Word: Justice and Peace"Sample
October 7
Introduction
Today's reading is a repeat of Psalm 14 (the reading from October 1), except for verse 5. Once again, we read that those who are fools are described as those who have no respect for God and who fail to obey God's ways.
Scripture Reading
Psalm 53
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 53:2
God looks down from heaven at people to see if there are any who are wise, any who worship him.
Reflect
According to verse 5, what is the fate of evildoers? Compare verse 5 with verses 5 and 6 in Psalm 14. What differences can you identify? What are your thoughts about the ideas the writer has conveyed in this psalm?
Pray
Merciful God, I seek to worship you daily and do what is right.Whenever I stray, I trust in your steadfast love and know I can return to you and seek your forgiveness. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Micah 1:1‒16: Micah announces the LORD’s judgment of Israel and Judah.
