October 20
Introduction
Isaiah 57:1–21: Today’s reading offers a thorough condemnation of the pagan worship practices that tempt and corrupt God’s people. God is the Holy One who dwells on high yet is present on earth with those who are humble and repentant. God promises peace and healing for all of God’s people.
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 57:15
[The LORD says:] “I am the high and holy God, who lives forever. I live in a high and holy place, but I also live with people who are humble and repentant, so that I can restore their confidence and hope.”
Reflect
Reread verses 14–21. The LORD’s home was pictured as being in the heavens, high above human beings. Yet God promises to be near the people, healing them, leading them, and comforting them. How do you experience the nearness of God’s presence today?
Pray
Lord God, no matter where I am, you have the power to heal me and give me peace. I am sorry for the times when I have let false idols distract me from your love. Thank you for your steadfast love, comfort, grace, and mercy. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 58:1–14: False piety is contrasted with true worship.
