Daily Bible Reading – April 2021, God’s Word of Mercy and ForgivenessEgzanp

  

April 20

Introduction

In today’s reading, we learn that Elijah journeyed to Zarephath, provided food for a widow and her son, and restored the widow’s son to life.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

1 Kings 17:8-24

Today’s Key Verse: 1 Kings 17:24 (GNT)

She answered, “Now I know that you are a man of God and that the LORD really speaks through you!”

Reflect

Reread verses 8-16. What was the widow’s situation? Why did she trust Elijah’s words? What happened several days later (verses 17-24)? In what ways do you demonstrate your trust in God?

Pray

Lord God, I trust in your promises and in your steadfast love and mercy. Order my steps this day, and let me not be led astray by false teachings. Keep me close to you and grounded in your holy Word. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who place their trust in material things.
