Isaiah 47 - Day 533 (link to today's reading)
Scripture: Isaiah 47:6 Commentary (bethmelekh.com): God had allowed Israel to be taken into captivity in order to discipline her, as a father disciplines the son whom He loves. Part of being a talmid (disciple) is discipline. Israel had sinned against God through idolatrous practices and hatred of His covenant with her, and by her refusal to keep the Torah He had given her. However, this did not mean that He saw Babylon as a righteous nation, to the contrary, the actions of the Babylonians had proved true to their character, born of the seat of Satanic power on earth. Application: God disciplines those He loves. Prayer: Lord, help me to crucify my fleshly desires... Comments are closed.
