    Chapter 60 (ESV)

    17 Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
    and instead of iron I will bring silver;
    instead of wood, bronze,
    instead of stones, iron.
    I will make your overseers peace
    and your taskmasters righteousness.
    18 Violence shall no more be heard in your land,
    devastation or destruction within your borders;
    you shall call your walls Salvation,
    and your gates Praise.

    19 The sun shall be no more
    your light by day,
    nor for brightness shall the moon
    give you light;
    but the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and your God will be your glory.
    20 Your sun shall no more go down,
    nor your moon withdraw itself;
    for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and your days of mourning shall be ended.
    21 Your people shall all be righteous;
    they shall possess the land forever,
    the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,
    that I might be glorified.
    22 The least one shall become a clan,
    and the smallest one a mighty nation;
    I am the Lord;
    in its time I will hasten it.

     

    REFLECTION:

    1. Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate
    2. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and meditate on this passage?
    3. This is a glorious promise that the captives, though in exile, will return and rebuild Jerusalem. Nations will bring gifts, Jerusalem will be prosperous and full of glory. We, too, look forward to a time when “the Lord will be your glory. Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the Lord will be your everlasting light and your days of sorrow will end” (vv19-20).
    4. What is your emotion as you read this word or phrase regarding your glorious future? How is that related to your current situation? What does God tell you to do?

     

    PRAYER:

    Stay with God for a little longer.  Continue to converse with God and listen to what He wants to tell you.  Then write down any thought and/or prayer in your spiritual journal.

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27)

In January 2009, PGC started the “260 Appointments with God” Bible Reading and Devotion program. From September 2017, the program has a vision to help brothers and sisters do devotion and reading through the whole Bible in four and a half years starting with the Book of Genesis. The program was renamed to “Listening to God” in January 2020. Thank the Lord the first cycle finished with Revelation on March 25, 2022. From March 28, 2022 “Listening to God” began another cycle starting with Genesis. The order of the books is alternated between the Old and New Testaments. For details, please refer to Bible Reading and Devotion Book Sequence.

All participants can track their progress of Bible reading using the PGC Bible Reading Chart. PGC participants can also track their Bible reading progress online and query through the Bible Reading Record Query page. PGC participants who do not have an account should create an account according to the instructions in the Registration page. The Bible Reading Record Query will allow tracking of personal progress after logging in. Even without logging in, you can still use the Bible Reading Record Query for fast access of the devotion information.

May brothers and sisters listen to and obey God’s Word every day, and be the Lord’s disciples.
