Isaiah 41:9, 10
”I brought you from the ends of the earth 
and called you from its farthest corners. 
I said to you: You are my servant; 
I have chosen you; I haven’t rejected you. 
Do not fear, for I am with you; 
do not be afraid, for I am your God. 
I will strengthen you; I will help you; 
I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand.” (CSB)

Isaiah 41: 13
”For I am the Lord your God, 
who holds your right hand, 
who says to you, “Do not fear, 
I will help you. (CSB)

Psalm 118:6
”The Lord is for me; I will not be afraid. 
What can a mere mortal do to me?“ (CSB)

Yesterday was a long day. I decided to sleep a bit later since bedtime the night before was likewise later. An important meeting loomed. Fresh thinking was essential. Sleep helps clear away the cobwebs of our days and untangles our thoughts for clarity.

Then the phone rang a few minutes into my overtime rest. My total extra sleep amounted to around twenty minutes. It was good phone call. I needed to get up. The meeting went well.

Our flights home successfully avoided the worst of the weather. We arrived at midnight. I got home at 12:45ish. The pillow felt so good when my head lay down around 1:30. 

One glass of water and two cups of coffee into this day, some of my favorite Bible verses showed up in today’s reading plan. They are so good, commentary is unnecessary. They are so wonderful, I know them by heart. They are so welcome, I smile as I sound them out again. 

If you ever wanted to begin memorizing the Bible but didn’t know where to start, here you go. 

What puts the fear of God in fear? God. 

Who comforts fearful souls? God. 

We have his word on it. 

Let’s live fearlessly today. 

I will live fearlessly today because God is in charge here.

Our Father, you are with us. You are for us. You have chosen us. You strengthen us. You hold us. That’s good news! Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 113:3

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-5

Psalm 112:4, 5
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

Daily D – Isaiah 1:18

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Daily D – 2 Kings 25:27-30

2 Kings 25:27-30 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.
