Introduction

Isaiah 2:1–5: In today’s reading, Isaiah describes how God will draw new people from all the world’s nations to his Temple in Jerusalem. They will come and learn and walk in the ways of the LORD. The reading features a vision of the future Jerusalem and everlasting peace. It concludes with a call to God’s current people of Israel to walk in the light of God’s teachings.

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 verses 2–4. 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 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 may walk in your light. Amen.
