Introduction

Jeremiah 33:14–26: The LORD speaks of fulfilling his promise about David’s royal line by choosing a righteous king who will rule with justice.

Today’s Key Verse: Jeremiah 33:26b

[The LORD said:] “I will be merciful to my people and make them prosperous again.”

Reflect

Reread verses 14–18. What promises are given? By what name will Jerusalem be known? What covenants does God promise to maintain (verses 19–22)? What messages of hope and comfort are you able to find in today’s reading?

Pray

God of love and mercy, my hope is in you. Trusting in your promises, I proclaim your everlasting love. You are the God of my salvation. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Isaiah 7:1–25: The prophet Isaiah delivers a message to King Ahaz of Judah.
