Isaiah 54 - Day 540 (link to today's reading)
Scripture: Isaiah 54:1-8 Commentary (bethmelekh.com): Once again the use of Hebrew conveys the immenseness of God’s Mercy and compassion when compared to our temporary (seeming) isolation as a result of our sin. He is angry for rega (a moment), but as a result of His loving action (chesed) He affords us olam (everlasting) compassion, faithfulness, wellbeing. All because He is our Redeemer (As Messiah, our kinsman) Mercy (YHVH) Himself. In anger God allowed Israel’s temporary disciplining. However, because His love and mercy precede His judgement, and because He has placed His Name on the people of Israel, His compassion will bring about the promised Messianic reign. The repentant remnant of Israel once given into the hands of the nations, will one day rule over all the nations under the greater son of David, the King Messiah Yeshua. Application: God graciously invites us to have a relationship with Him, on His terms, through His Son Jesus. Prayer: Mahalo Ke Akua... Comments are closed.
