The purpose of Isaiah is to
call the nation of Judah back
to God and to tell of God’s
salvation through the Messiah.
This week we understand God better
thru His revelation of names, mostly
related to His ability to meet needs.
On Monday, we learn from Isa 25
about Shelter from the Storm.
On Tuesday, we learn from
Isaiah 26 about Rock of Ages.
On Wednesday, we learn from
Isa 28 about Sure Foundation.
On Thursday, we learn from
Isaiah 30 about Source of Strength.
On Friday, we learn from Isaiah 33
about Lawgiver, Judge and King.
Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face…In Jesus’ name.
As Isaiah continues to study
the prophetic horizon, he sees
more than coming calamity.
True, the prospects are not pleasant
for the rebellious people of God.
But there is also a coming King
who will bring peace like a river,
freedom for the captives, justice
for those suffering oppression,
and judgment upon heaven & earth.
In the light of His sure coming, the
people of God are urged to watch
and wait expectantly & purposefully.
Their redemption is nigh.
Lord, be merciful to us,
for we have waited for You…
In that day He will be your
sure foundation, providing a rich
store of salvation (Isaiah 33:2,6)
Lord, You will see Zion
as a place of holy festivals.
You will see Jerusalem,
a city quiet and secure…
The Lord will be our Mighty One.
He will be like a wide river
of protection that no enemy
can cross, that no enemy ship
can sail upon. For the Lord is
our judge, our lawgiver and our
King. He will care for us and
save us (Isaiah 33:20-22).
O Lord, be gracious to me;
be my strength each day and
my salvation in times of distress.
For You O Lord are the sure
foundation for all times. And
since You Lord are a rich storehouse
of wisdom and knowledge,
keep me from wandering away
from the truth of Your word, and give
me an understanding heart and a love
for You, that grows each passing day.
These I ask in Jesus name, Amen
Lord, as my creator, You have the
right to be my lawgiver and judge.
As my King, You have the right
to demand my allegiance.
Yet You choose to come as my
Saviour and win my affection.
You have loved all of humanity
enough to not write us off for
our rebellion. Let me be moved by
this incredible act of love one again.
Let me believe this truth not only
in words but in my core being. Amen
Glorious things of thee are
spoken, Zion City of our God;
He whose word cannot be broken
Formed thee for His own abode:
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded,
Thou may’st smile at all thy foes.
With salvation’s walls surrounded,
Thou may’st smile at all thy foes.
