GOSPEL CONVERSATION OPPORTUNITY
Isaiah’s message to the people of Israel was filled with promises of a coming Messiah. Spend some time today researching the timing of when Isaiah was written. (Hint- it was over 700 years BEFORE Jesus was born.). The Israelites had to wait a long time for the prophecies from Isaiah to be fulfilled. The exciting news is, even though it took a while, the prophecies were fulfilled!
Read Isaiah 45:23-24 and Philippians 2:5-11. We are still waiting on this prophecy to be fulfilled. But, the word of God promises that there will be a day when every knew will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.
Read Isaiah 55. Thank God the salvation Isaiah promised was coming was for EVERYONE! Not just the Israelites- but for us, too!

July Memory Verse:
“Truly I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.”
Using the daily reading prompts from George H. Guthrie’s Read the Bible for Life, here’s how to use this devotional:
- Bring your Bible! Your kids need to see that everything you are reading to them or learning about comes from an actual Bible!
- Each day starts with a reading prompt. Read the selection as a family. If your kids are readers, encourage them to read along with you.
- After you’ve read the passage, read the short devotional thought that goes along with each passage.
- Prayer and application are important any time we read God’s word! After each devotional, there is a challenge to help apply what your family has read that day.
- There is a reading for six days of the week. The last reading of the week is a Gospel Conversation Prompt to help you connect the reading from the week with God’s plan for salvation.
