April 29 – The Lord Helps - Isaiah 25:4-5
The prophet then lists the deeds and exploits of the Lord. He has been a refuge to the poor. A place of safety for the needy in their distress. This is the love and compassion in action. He has been a shelter in the storms of life and a shade from the heat of the day and circumstances. When the ruthless rise he has been a storm driving against a wall. He deals with them severely.
Like the heat of the desert the Lord silences the uproar of the foreign powers and people. Like a cloud the covers the sun so the Lord stills the song of the ruthless. He quiets the boast of the wicked and terrorist. The Lord is good to the humble and brings down the proud.
