July 19 — When Religion Hides Injustice — Chronological Audio Bible Reading | Isaiah 57–59 | Resolved to Read
from The Resolved to Read Podcast · host Jennifer Jolene Deal
In today's reading from Isaiah 57:1–21; 58:1–14; and 59:1–21, God confronts a people who perform religious acts—like fasting—while ignoring the commands He truly cares about: justice, generosity, and care for the vulnerable. Israel's worship had become hollow, a covering for selfishness rather than a reflection of God's heart. The warning reaches us today: we can fall into the same trap, mistaking outward devotion for genuine obedience. True worship is inseparable from justice, mercy, and humility before God, and these chapters call us to examine whether our lives match the devotion we profess.Resolved to Read is a daily chronological Bible podcast guiding you through Scripture in one year—with short readings, quiet moments of reflection, and warm conversations that bring faith to life.Join the journey, stay consistent in God’s Word, and grow spiritually one day at a time.📖 Subscribe on your favorite podcast app or watch on YouTube. 🎧 Listen daily + find the full reading plan by following along in the Daily Bible in Chronological Order edited by F.
