The Daily is Our Resource for Studying God’s Word
God saw this time before it ever was. This is a time to remember our GOD is in control. He will show us the way. As we begin to safely and wisely take baby steps towards our “new normal”, lets pray with Isaiah for our “sorrow and sighing to flee” and “everlasting joy” to be ours. Let’s pray God show us the way and we do all things according to his perfect timing. May his wisdom be our companion during these trying times.

There are seasons in our life where we will be hurt and experience bitterness. It cannot be helped. We are being tested by the world. It is heartbreaking at times and we will feel beat down and discouraged, but what sets us apart from the rest of the world is a promise of hope and joy that the trials of this world are temporary. The Bible tells us “count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” Joy does not mean we will not experience the pain of loss, the melancholy of loneliness or the misery of death. Joy is not dependent on our emotions. Joy is knowing that there is something greater than the pain of this world. God has equipped us with truth to counter this world with love. May His light shine through us in this dark world.

Today’s passage, is from Isaiah’s encourage to the exiles in Babylon after Jerusalem fell in 586 B.C. He assures the exiles of God’s care for them. This section is Isaiah chapters 44—55. These chapters also give long-term hope of the coming Messiah. Specifically, today’s section is from the fourth and final Servant Song, Isaiah 52:13—53:12. It’s quoted frequently in the new testament. This Servant Song is very prophetic about Jesus. Here we learn that He suffered on our behalf, this suffering was caused by humankind, He acted as the substitute for our sins, He was severely punished on our behalf, and that all of us contributed to this suffering.

Today our text comes from Isaiah which foretold of the coming Messiah. Written hundreds of years before the birth of Christ Jews held great hope in the coming of one who would reign forever. We see in these verses today that this ruler called a “branch” will come from the house of David, be qualified in every way, be just, bring peace, and be for all people.
