Daily Bible Reading – July 2021, God’s Word of FaithПример

July 8 Introduction Today’s reading teaches that we are surrounded by faithful witnesses from the past and present. This “large crowd” is like a hometown crowd cheering us on as we run the race of faith. The reading concludes by affirming God’s treatment of us as his children. Today’s Scripture Reading Hebrews 12:1-11 Today’s Key Verse:  Hebrews 12:2a "Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end." Reflect In verses 7-11, the relationship between God and people is described as that of a father and child. How is earthly punishment or discipline compared to what God does? What are your thoughts regarding the Lord correcting everyone he loves (verse 6)? What is the purpose of correction or discipline? Pray Lord Jesus, keep my eyes fixed on you. My faith is dependent on you. You died on a cross and are now seated at the right side of God’s throne. I thank and praise you for your sacrificial love. Amen. Prayer Concern Athletes Tomorrow’s Reading Hebrews 12:12-29: Instructions and warnings are given about living as people of God.
