April 26
Introduction
Isaiah 52:1–12: Today’s reading includes a summary of Israel’s history of captivity, comparing their time in Egypt (Genesis 46:1–4; Exodus 1—15) with the capture by Assyria of the northern kingdom of Israel and Babylonia’s capture of the southern kingdom of Judah. Now Jerusalem is called to rise up and celebrate God’s promise to rescue the people and free them from captivity.
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 52:10
The LORD will use his holy power; he will save his people, and all the world will see it.
Reflect
What is the “good news” in verses 7 and 8? According to verses 9 and 10, what does God promise? How is this return to be different from the exodus from Egypt (verse 12)? In what ways does your community of faith celebrate God’s faithfulness?
Pray
God of power and might, thank you for your faithfulness and for leading me each day and sheltering me with your protecting love. I rejoice and shout for joy and praise you for your good news of salvation and steadfast care. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Isaiah 54:1–17: Jerusalem’s future is described.
