Daily Bible Reading, December 2022: God’s Renewing Word of JoyShembull

December 31 Introduction The Letter from Jude was written to warn against false teachers who claimed to be believers. In this brief letter, the writer encourages believers to defend and build on the foundation of their faith. Scripture Reading Jude 1-25 Today’s Key Verse: Jude 20b, 21 Pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, and keep yourselves in the love of God, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy to give you eternal life. Reflect Who are the “godless people” mentioned in today’s reading (verse 4)? How are they described? What words of encouragement does the writer give? In what ways can you offer encouragement to those you encounter today? Pray Merciful and loving God, I pray that you keep me from falling and bring me faultless and joyful into your glorious presence. To you, the only God my Savior, through Jesus Christ my Lord, be glory, majesty, might, and authority, from all ages past, and now, and forever and ever! Amen.
