July 3
Introduction
Isaiah 55:1–13: The LORD offers mercy and forgiveness and promises to bring the people out of exile in Babylon. The image of a banquet is used to describe God’s lasting covenant with the people. God’s “word” (verses 10–11) has the power to create and save and carries the promise to bring the people out of exile to a land restored.
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 55:6
Turn to the LORD and pray to him, now that he is near.
Reflect
How do you envision the invitation that the LORD offers in today’s reading? What is God’s “word” able to accomplish? Reread verse 8. In what ways are God’s thoughts and ways different from yours?
Pray
Lord God, you nurture and sustain me with your life-giving word. Thank you for your invitation to come to you and receive your blessings of mercy and forgiveness. You are ever near, and your love fills me with joy. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 63:15—64:12: A prayer for mercy and help.
