Daily Bible Reading—February 2024, God’s Guiding Word: LoveSample
February 6
Introduction
John 4:1–26: Today’s reading is the beginning of a lengthy discourse between Jesus and a Samaritan woman. In Jesus’s day, a Jewish man conversing with a woman in public was a violation of social convention. Jesus teaches about life-giving water and worship and reveals to her that he is the Messiah.
Today’s Key Verse: John 4:14b
[Jesus said]: “The water that I will give them will become in them a spring which will provide them with life-giving water and give them eternal life.”
Reflect
How does Jesus initiate his conversation with the Samaritan woman? What is your understanding of the “life-giving water” that Jesus offers? Do you know someone who needs to hear about Jesus’s life-giving water? If so, what will you say to them?
Pray
Lord Jesus, you know everything about me and what is in my heart. By the power of your Holy Spirit, guide me in the way of truth. Thank you for the life-giving water you offer and for the gift of eternal life. Teach me to obey your teachings and to spread your message of love and forgiveness to those I meet today. Amen.
