Introduction
Verses 1-4 comprise the first of four “servant songs” in the book of Isaiah. (The other three “servant songs” are found in Isaiah 49:1-7; 50:4-9; 52:13—53:12.) In this passage, the servant is described as one whom God has chosen to bring justice to every nation (verse 1).
Today’s Scripture Reading
Isaiah 42:1-25
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 42:6a
“I, the LORD, have called you and given you power to see that justice is done on earth.”
Reflect
Some scholars think that the servant referenced in this passage must have been an important royal or religious figure in Israel’s history, like King Josiah, the prophet Jeremiah, or even Isaiah. Others think it could be a reference to the people of Israel. Still others understand this passage as describing the life of God’s promised messiah. What do you think?
Pray
Holy God, source of light and truth, light my path that I may see the way to be a servant in your work of redemption, truth, and justice. Guide me today. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those working for social justice
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 49:1-26: Israel is to be a light to the nations.
