Daily Bible Reading - July 2020 God's Life-Giving Word of Promise

DAY 25 OF 31

  


July 25


Introduction


In today’s reading, the Jews destroy their enemies, along with Haman’s ten sons, in the capital city, Susa, and throughout all the provinces.


Scripture Reading 


Esther 9:1-19


Today’s Key Verse: Esther 9:16a


The Jews in the provinces also organized and defended themselves.


Reflect


What did Esther ask the king to do with the bodies of Haman’s sons? What message would such a public display have conveyed? In today’s reading, verse 15 records that the Jews killed their enemies but “did no looting,” an indication that they were fighting for survival and not for riches or material gain. Are there people today who are engaged in struggles for survival? 


Pray


God of grace and mercy, you alone are God and worthy of praise. You are indeed mighty, and I am in awe of your wondrous deeds. Thank you, Lord God, for your saving love. Amen. 


Prayer Concern


Those facing hardships and struggling to survive.


Tomorrow’s Reading


Esther 9:20-32: The Festival of Purim is celebrated.
