Isaiah 44 - Day 530 (link to today's reading)
Scripture: Isaiah 44:2 Commentary (bethmelekh.com): God is revealed as “Mercy, Helper, Creator, Artisan” and the One through Whom Israel is called Yeshurun “Upright One”. The title Yeshurun is used elsewhere only three times (Deut. 32:15; 33:5, 26). The first of the three other instances, like the present example, places the “Upright One” in a state of unrighteousness. The second reference alludes to Moses as king in Yeshurun and the third proclaims the uniqueness of the God of Yeshurun, Who has no equal. Collecting these four occurrences of the name Yeshurun, we’re able to conclude that her uprightness is the state in which God sees her complete outside of circumstance and through His redemptive work. She is not upright of her own accord, nor have her actions made her that way, to the contrary, it is because God has chosen her that He has made certain of her redemption. This is the very essence of the Gospel of our King Messiah Yeshua. Application: As it was for the nation of Israel, the same principle applies to every believer in Jesus. We are not upright on our own accord...it is because God has chosen us that He has made certain of our redemption. Prayer: Praise be to God... Comments are closed.
