August 3 Introduction God promises to rescue the people from Babylonian captivity and allow them to return to Judah. The people of Israel are summoned to be witnesses to their belief in God. Scripture Reading Isaiah 43:1-13 Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 43:1b [The LORD says:] “Do not be afraid—I will save you. I have called you by name—you are mine.” Reflect What verses speak of God’s assurance of safety? What does God promise? In what ways have you been assured of God's presence in your life? In what ways can you be a witness to your faith and trust in God? Pray Lord God, you have called me by name and I am yours. You alone are God, and I thank and praise you for your life-giving love. Amen. Tomorrow’s Reading Isaiah 44:1-20: The LORD is the only God.
