Daily Bible Reading – October 2023, "God’s Saving Word: Justice and Peace"

DAY 28 OF 31

October 28 Introduction Israel was made up of twelve tribes named for the sons of Jacob. After King Solomon died, the ten northern tribes formed their own kingdom (Israel), while the two southernmost tribes formed the kingdom of Judah. Jeremiah envisions a time when the LORD will rebuild Israel, the people will return to their own land, and the twelve tribes will be restored as one nation. Scripture Reading Jeremiah 31:1‒22 Today’s Key Verse: Jeremiah 31:17 “There is hope for your future; your children will come back home. I, the LORD, have spoken.” Reflect Jeremiah envisions a time when all the tribes will be restored as one nation of God’s people, and the kingdom of Israel will be rebuilt. Reread verses 7‒14. How is the homecoming and the restored nation envisioned? What brokenness do you see in our world today? How can healing among nations begin? What can communities of faith do to help? Pray God of love and mercy, your world suffers from brokenness, war, and conflict. Forgive us for the ways in which we fail to live in community, and reveal to us opportunities for reconciliation and new life. Amen. Tomorrow’s Reading Jeremiah 31:23‒40: The prophet Jeremiah describes God’s new covenant with the people.
