下載應用程序Daily Bible Reading – August 2023, God’s Saving Word: Encouragement預覽
August 6
Introduction
Today's reading includes a brief account of how, around a thousand years earlier, Israel’s ancestors (the family of Jacob, grandson of Abraham) had gone to live in Egypt (Genesis 46:1-4). The Israelite people were treated as slaves in Egypt, but the LORD saved them (Exodus 1—15). Centuries later, Assyria defeated the northern kingdom of Israel, and then Babylonia captured the southern kingdom of Judah. But now Jerusalem is summoned to rise up and celebrate God's promise to rescue the people and free them from captivity.
Scripture Reading
Isaiah 52:1-12
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 52:10
The LORD will use his holy power; he will save his people, and all the world will see it.
Reflect
What is the "good news" that is cited in verses 7 and 8? According to verses 9 and 10, what does God promise? In what ways does your community of faith celebrate God's faithfulness?
Pray
God of power and might, thank you for your faithfulness and for leading me each day and sheltering me with your protecting love. I rejoice and shout for joy and praise you for your good news of salvation and steadfast care. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Philippians 1:1-30: The apostle Paul, writing from a jail cell, shares the good news about Christ.
