Scripture Reading 

Isaiah 1:21—2:5

Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 2:3b

He will teach us what he wants us to do; we will walk in the paths he has chosen.

Reflect

Reread 1:24-31. What will God do to those who rebel and sin against him: Reread verses 2-4 in chapter 2. What were your thoughts as you read these words? How do you envision what is described?  In what ways does your life demonstrate that you “walk in the paths [God] has chosen” (verse 2:3)?

Pray

Merciful God, I repent of my sinful ways and offer you a humble and contrite heart. Teach me what you want me to do so that I walk in your righteous paths. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those working for peace and reconciliation among nations
