Daily Bible Reading—December 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Joyනියැදිය

Introduction
Isaiah 60:1–22: Today’s reading is an oracle describing the restoration and transformation of Jerusalem. The city had been destroyed by foreigners in 586 B.C. because of God’s anger over its sin, but foreigners will now help rebuild the city because of God’s favor and mercy. Those who had been living in exile will return home. The city will reflect the glory of God.
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 60:19b
“I, the LORD, will be your eternal light; The light of my glory will shine on you.”
Reflect
Based on this reading, how do you envision the restored Jerusalem? What images do you find particularly compelling? Why? Verse 19 calls to mind the new Jerusalem described in Revelation 21:23 and 22:5 (part of the readings for December 29 and 30). What is to be the city’s source of light? Reread verses 10–22. What promises are given?
Pray
God of grace and transformation, the light of your glory dispels clouds of darkness and gloom. May my words and actions this day reflect the light of your love. Shine in my heart, Lord God. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 7:1–25: The prophet Isaiah delivers a message to King Ahaz of Judah.
