Going Deeper With Scripture
August 1 Isaiah 49
9 I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom’ and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’ They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures and on hills that were previously bare. 10 They will neither hunger nor thirst. The searing sun will not reach them anymore. For the Lord in mercy will lead them; will lead them beside cool waters.
August 8 Mark 1:9-11 (King James Version)
9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying,” Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
August 15 Revelation 22
1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
August 22 Psalm 104
10 You provide streams of water in the hills and valleys,
11 so that the donkeys and other wild animals can satisfy their thirst.
12 Birds build their nests nearby and sing in the trees.
13 From your home above you send rain on the hills
and water the earth.
33 As long as I live, I will sing and praise you, the LORD God.
34 I hope my thoughts will please you,
because you are the one who makes me glad.
August 29 Amos 5:23-24
23 Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
