Text for the Day -- Isaiah 10:24-27
----------
Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: O my people, who live in
Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they beat you with a rod
and lift up their staff against you as the Egyptians did. For in a
very little while my indignation will come to an end, and my anger
will be directed to their destruction. The Lord of hosts will wield a
whip against them, as when he struck Midian at the rock of Oreb; his
staff will be over the sea, and he will lift it as he did in Egypt.
On that day his burden will be removed from your shoulder, and his
yoke will be destroyed from your neck.
Devotional
----------
The prophets were the voice of God, interpreting the happenings of
their time and challenging the people of God to repent and return to
the Lord their God in their believing and their behavior. They saw
God's judgment fall upon the nations that turn from God. They also
preached a path of return to God because God's mercy was there for
them. The same pattern works for us as individuals.
Prayer
-----------------
Bless me with your mercy and renewal, O Lord. Amen
