August 2

Introduction

The prophet Isaiah focuses on the new future that the LORD is creating for the people of Israel. Even though Jerusalem lies in ruins, it will be restored and the people will rejoice. God will bless and protect those who return from exile.

Scripture Reading 

Isaiah 49:8-26

Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 49:13

Sing heavens! Shout for joy, earth! Let the mountains burst into song! The LORD will comfort his people; he will have pity on his suffering people.

Reflect

Reread verses 14-18. While in exile, many Israelites probably felt as if the LORD had forgotten about them. How might these words have encouraged them? Have you ever felt as though God had forgotten you? If so, where did you find encouragement during that time?

Pray

Loving God, there are times when I feel so distant from you. Reveal your presence to me, that I may always be mindful of your saving love. Heighten my awareness of you today. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who feel distant from God

Tomorrow’s Reading

Isaiah 54:1-17: Jerusalem’s future is described.
