Daily Bible Reading — December 2023, God’s Saving Word: JoyНамуна

December 5
Introduction
Zephaniah 1:1–18: The prophet Zephaniah preached in the latter part of the seventh century B.C. In today’s reading, a day of doom and destruction is threatened. The people of Judah will be punished for worshiping other gods.
Today’s Key Verse: Zephaniah 1:14a
The great day of the LORD is near—very near and coming fast!
Reflect
What is the LORD’s message to Zephaniah? Reread verses 4–9. What reasons are given for the people’s punishment? How is “the great day of the LORD” described (verses 14–18)? What were your thoughts when you read this message?
Pray
Almighty God, you alone are God, and I worship you. Draw me close to you and keep me in your care. I seek to serve you always. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Zephaniah 2:1–15: Zephaniah declares that the LORD will punish Judah’s enemies.
