Get the appDaily Bible Reading — December 2023, God’s Saving Word: JoySample
December 7
Introduction
Zephaniah 3:1–20: The prophet declares that, although Jerusalem is doomed, in time, the city will be restored, with people who are humble and righteous living there. Today’s reading concludes with a song of joy and proclaims an end to the people’s punishment.
Today’s Key Verse: Zephaniah 3:17b
The LORD will take delight in you, and in his love he will give you new life.
Reflect
What does Zephaniah say about the leaders of the people? In what ways have they misused their power? Why will Jerusalem and the people of Israel celebrate once again? On what occasions are songs of celebration sung in your community of faith?
Pray
I sing and shout for joy, Lord God, because you are always with me. Your love revives my soul, and I trust in your care. I will praise your holy name forever. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Jeremiah 33:1–13: Jerusalem will be restored following its destruction by the Babylonians.
