Dec 12 – Shadow in the Heat – Isaiah 25:4
Isaiah is worshipping the Lord here because the Lord is the shadow in the heat of the day. In Israel it is often very warm. In fact, Jericho everyday of the year has an average temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit. In the Judean wilderness It can be easily over a hundred degrees. In this horrid heat a shadow is a welcome relief. In the mind of his audience Isaiah was painting a picture of relief and help. The Lord will help us when we feel the heat of our circumstances will consume us. In those life and death situation the Lord will be our relief. Peter encourages us in 1 Pet 5:7 to cast all our cares on the Lord for He cares for us. Today allow the shadow of the almighty cover you today and get relief from whatever comes your way today. A great thing to thank the Lord and worship for Him today.
