Daily Bible Reading, November 2022: “God’s Renewing Word of Thankfulness and Praise.”預覽

November 2 Introduction The priests rebuild the altar and begin offering sacrifices according to the instructions God had given Moses. The people celebrate the Festival of Shelters as a reminder of how God protected the people of Israel in the wilderness (see Leviticus 23:33-36; Numbers 29:12-40). The rebuilding of the Temple begins with the laying of the foundation. Scripture Reading Ezra 3:1-13 Today’s Key Verse: Ezra 3:11a [The priests and Levites] sang the LORD’s praises, repeating the refrain: “The LORD is good, and his love for Israel is eternal.” Reflect What was the first thing that was done to enable worship to begin again? What was the first festival that was celebrated? What took place when the builders started to lay the foundation of the Temple? What celebrations take place within your community of faith? Pray Lord God, you are indeed good and your love is eternal. With joy in my heart, I worship you and thank and praise you for your daily blessings. Amen. Tomorrow’s Reading Ezra 4:24—5:17: Work on rebuilding the Temple begins again.
