Daily Bible Reading—July 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Mercy and ForgivenessSample
July 6
Introduction
Isaiah 66:12–24: Today’s reading closes out the book of the prophet Isaiah. The LORD promises to help and restore Jerusalem and bring it lasting prosperity. The reading ends with a picture of the eternal punishment that will come to those who have rebelled against the LORD.
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 66:13
[The LORD says:] “I will comfort you in Jerusalem, as a mother comforts her child.”
Reflect
What is promised in verses 12–14? According to verses 15–19a, who will be punished and how? What will happen to those who are spared (verses 19b–21)? Within your community of faith, what worship practices do you find most meaningful, and in what ways do they give honor and glory to God?
Pray
Almighty and powerful God, your reign is everlasting. I worship you alone, and I will proclaim your greatness forever and ever. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Jeremiah 3:6–18: Israel and Judah are called to repent.
