December 20
Introduction
Because King Ahaz preferred to seek an alliance with Assyria rather than relying on God (8:1-15), today’s reading includes Isaiah’s warning of the Assyrian attack and God’s coming judgment against Judah. After a time of trouble is foretold, Isaiah speaks words of hope about the coming of a righteous king and his reign of justice and peace.
Scripture Reading
Isaiah 8:21—9:7
Today’s Scripture: Isaiah 9:6
A child is born to us! A son is given to us! And he will be our ruler. He will be called “Wonderful Counselor,” “Mighty God,” “Eternal Father,” Prince of Peace.”
Reflect
Reread 9:2-7. In Christian tradition, verses 6 and 7 are interpreted as referring to the coming of the messianic king. How are this king and his kingdom described? What promise is given? What verses speak to you of hope?
Pray
Lord God Almighty, your reign is eternal. You are our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, and Prince of Peace. Trusting in your promises, I am filled with hope and I praise your glorious name. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Luke 1:1-25: The birth of John the Baptist is announced.
