Daily Bible Reading— November 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Praise and Thanksgiving

DAY 13 OF 30

November 13

Introduction

1 Chronicles 17:1–15: David desires to build a “house” (temple) in which to place the Covenant Box, and the prophet Nathan delivers God’s response.

Today’s Key Verse: 1 Chronicles 17:9a

[The LORD said]: “I have chosen a place for my people Israel and have settled them there, where they will live without being oppressed anymore.”

Reflect

This passage includes a play on the word “house” which can refer to the house (temple) that David wants to build, or to a dynasty of David’s descendants. What message does the prophet Nathan bring to David? What does God promise? Read verses 13–14 again. In what ways does God keep this promise (Acts 13:22–23 is one place to start)?

Pray

God of promise, I know I belong to you. Rule in my heart forever. I long to serve you, and I glorify your holy name. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

1 Chronicles 17:16–27: David offers a prayer of thanksgiving.
