Daily Bible Reading – August 2021: God’s Word of PromiseЗразок

August 31 Introduction The prophet declares that, although Jerusalem is doomed because the people are to be punished for worshiping other gods, in time the city will be restored, with humble and righteous people living there. Today’s reading concludes with a song of joy and proclaims an end to the people’s punishment. Today’s Scripture Reading Zephaniah 3:1-20 Today’s Key Verse:  Zephaniah 3:17b The LORD will take delight in you, and in his love he will give you new life. Reflect What does Zephaniah say about the leaders of the people? In what ways have they misused their power? Why will Jerusalem and the people of Israel celebrate once again? On what occasions are songs of celebration sung in your community of faith? Pray I sing and shout for joy, Lord God because you are always with me. Your love revives my soul, and I trust in your care and in your promises. I will praise your holy name forever. Amen.
