Isaiah 25 - Day 512 (link to today's reading)
Scripture: Isaiah 25:1-9 Commentary (workingpreacher.org): Isaiah 25 celebrates divine faithfulness in soaring, lofty words, words too lofty for everyday reality. Yet they inspire hope. Hymns of thanksgiving stand on either side of a prophetic description of a universal banquet hosted by God “on this mountain,” that is, on Mount Zion, where the temple stood. The chapter begins with a communal hymn of thanksgiving for God’s deliverance from tyrants. The hymn gathers themes and language well known from the rest of Isaiah. The wording “plans formed of old, faithful and sure” recalls the divine plan, a frequent theme in Isaiah (see for instance Isa 5:19; 14:26; 19:17; 28:29; 30:1): the prophet claims that God’s plans, not those of political humans, will come to fruition... Application: Despite all of the doom and gloom God will fulfill His plan to restore all things back to Himself. He is faithful and will do what He says that He will do and that's something we can hold on to. Prayer: Lord, Thy will be done... Comments are closed.
