Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of WisdomSample

September 4

Introduction

Today’s reading is a continuation of Chapter 11 in Luke’s Gospel that focuses on Jesus’s teachings. Jesus describes what happens when an evil spirit returns and offers insight into the miracle of Jonah. The reading concludes with a teaching on one’s life being filled with light.

Today’s Scripture: Luke 11:28

Jesus answered, “Rather, how happy are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”

Today’s Reading 

Luke 11:24-36

Reflect

Reread verses 27, 28. What does Jesus teach about happiness? What does hearing and obeying the Word of God mean to you? When referring to Jonah as a “sign” to the people of Nineveh (verse 30), so too will Jesus be a “sign” for the people. In what ways does Jesus serve as a “sign” for us today? Reread verses 33-36. What is your understanding of what it means for your whole body to be full of light?

Pray

Lord God, I delight in your Word. Help me to hear and obey your Word today, and teach me to be a shining light that reflects your love. Amen.
