DAY 15 OF 31

October 15

Introduction

Today’s reading begins with an oracle of judgment against Jerusalem and Judah and concludes with a description of the way in which the LORD will judge the people.

Scripture Reading

Isaiah 3:1‒15

Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 3:10

The righteous will be happy, and things will go well for them. They will get to enjoy what they have worked for.

Reflect

How will the LORD deal with the people’s disobedience, and why are they doomed (verses 1‒9)?What are your thoughts about these punishments? How will the righteous be treated (verse 10)? What is the fate of those who are evil (verse 11)? Reread verses 13‒15. What accusations are brought against the nation’s leaders? What does today’s reading teach you about God’s justice?

Pray

Almighty God, you are righteous in all your judgments. Teach me to obey your laws so that I serve you in ways that reflect your love and glorify you. Amen.
