Dec 16 – Wipe Away Reproach – Isaiah 25:8
Dec 16 – Wipe Away Reproach – Isaiah 25:8
Isaiah brings to the attention of his readers and audience that the Lord one day is going to wipe away all tears of shame and reproach. There are times when the enemy and his agents of evil accuse us. Sometimes they exploit something that we have said or done. Other times they just lie about us. This is the time we do a self examination like Job and then let the Lord defend us. There are also times where we tell the truth and let the chips fall where they may. Always refute lies with truth. Remember you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. One day all the shame and reproach that we have suffered will be revealed and every sadness it caused will be wiped away in the goodness and love of the Lord.

Dec 13 – Good things – Isaiah 25:6
Dec 13 – Good things – Isaiah 25:6
Isaiah tells his audience that the Lord is the who gives good things. James states that every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of Light who never shows any variable or turning. The one thing we can rely on is the consistency of the Lord. Jesus through His ministry demonstrated this. The Bible says that Jesus went about doing good. You can be assured of this fact in your dealing with the Lord. Elijah found this out when the Lord fed Him by ravens in the wilderness and then having one meal with an angel gave him enough sustenance to make a forty-day trek to Mount Sinai. The Lord is Jehovah Jireh and He is going to supply every need according to His riches in glory. That s a great reason to worship and praise the Lord.

Dec 12 – Shadow in the Heat – Isaiah 25:4
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.
