April 22
Introduction
Isaiah 44:21–28: The LORD alone is God, creator and savior. God’s greatness is described. Today’s reading concludes with a reference to the Persian ruler Cyrus, who defeated the Babylonians in 539 B.C. and gave permission to the Israelites, who had been living in exile in Babylonia, to return home to Judah.
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 44:24a
“I am the LORD, your savior; I am the one who created you. I am the LORD, the Creator of all things.”
Reflect
What is Israel told to remember (verse 21)? What verses in today’s reading speak of the LORD’s greatness? In what ways do you experience God as creator and savior?
Pray
Holy God, there is no other God but you, and I worship you alone. You are my creator and savior, my source of help and strength. Keep me close to you day by day in the safety of your love. I praise your holy name. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 45:1–13: Cyrus is chosen by God to liberate the exiled Israelites.
