Daily Bible Reading – October 2021: God’s Word of JusticeExemplo

October 23
Introduction
Today’s reading is the concluding chapter to the book of Amos. Judgments are pronounced, but the chapter concludes with a description of the future restoration of Israel.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Amos 9:1-15
Today’s Key Verse: Amos 9:6a
The LORD builds his home in the heavens, and over the earth he puts the dome of the sky.
Reflect
The Temple mentioned in verse 1 refers to the temple in Bethel, not Jerusalem. What judgments are cited in verses 1-10? King David ruled a united Israel from 1010 to 970 B.C. Around 931 B.C. the kingdom split in two. Eventually the northern kingdom (Israel) was defeated by the Assyrians (722 B.C.); afterward, the southern kingdom (Judah) was defeated by the Babylonians (587 B.C.). The concluding verses (11-15) offer a vision of a reunited Israel. In what ways do these concluding verses speak of God’s faithfulness? Based on what you have read these past few days from the book of Amos, meditate on the Lord’s justice.
Pray
Righteous and loving God, I thank and praise You for Your steadfast love and faithfulness. Teach me to listen for Your voice and help me do Your will. In the mighty Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Countries divided by civil unrest
Tomorrow’s Reading
Micah 1:1-16: Micah announces the LORD’s judgment of Israel and Judah.
