October 8
Introduction
Today’s reading opens with the prophet describing a time when Jerusalem will be restored. It concludes with a song about a vineyard in which the sins of the people of Jerusalem and Judah are compared to sour grapes.
Scripture Reading
Isaiah 4:2—5:7
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 5:7a
Israel is the vineyard of the LORD Almighty; the people of Judah are the vines he planted.
Reflect
How is the restoration of Jerusalem described (4:2-6)? Verses 1-7 in chapter 5 are known as “The Song of the Vineyard,” a traditional wine harvest song used here to describe God’s relationship with the people of Israel and Judah. How is that relationship described? Can this image be used to describe God’s relationship with people today? Why or why not?
Pray
Almighty God, I sing your praises. In love you nurture me so that I grow in faith day by day. Teach me to obey your Word so that I become a fruitful disciple. May my words and deeds reflect your love and grace. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those cultivating vineyards
Tomorrow’s Reading
