August 3
Introduction
Today’s reading describes the LORD’s love for and relationship with Israel and the LORD’s promise to rebuild Jerusalem. The opening verses affirm that Jerusalem will once again be filled with the Israelites and that their descendants will occupy even more land.
Scripture Reading
Isaiah 54:1-17
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 54:5b
The holy God of Israel will save you—he is the ruler of all the world.
Reflect
What promises are given in today’s reading? Note the way in which Jerusalem and Israel are described—as a childless woman, a young wife (verses 1, 4, 6)—and how God is described as a husband (verses 5, 6). What do these images suggest to you about God’s relationship with Israel? Reread verses 11-12. How is the future of Jerusalem described? You may wish to compare these verses with Revelation 21:18-21 which describes the heavenly Jerusalem in much the same way. What does today’s reading teach you about God?
Pray
Holy God, I sing and shout for joy because of your faithfulness, and I trust in your promises and in your never-ending love. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Couples planning their wedding
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 55:1-13: The LORD extends an invitation to the people to return to him.
