Daily D – Isaiah 54:10

Isaiah 54:10
”Though the mountains move
and the hills shake,
my love will not be removed from you
and my covenant of peace will not be shaken,”
says your compassionate Lord.“ (CSB)

Chaos is messy, dangerous, and loud. God is beautiful, peaceful, and compassionate. Earth’s trembling cannot budge God’s settled love and care for those who belong to him.

This truth is good to recall when we see and hear news reports today of stupid people doing stupid things. It is worth remembering when it sounds like evil is gaining the upper hand.

This passage stands in firm solidarity with Psalm 46.

These words of truth and life point toward the cross, the resurrection, the ascension, and Pentecost.

These promises endure forever.

For as long as anything is, the core truth of the universe and everything beyond is God’s unfailing love, mercy, and compassion. Because of his settled nature and amazing grace, we can know peace even when there seems to be no peace.

I will let the peace of God reign in my life.

Our Father, every foundation stone but you is shaking now. Shaky are the halls of justice and learning. Shaky are those who redefine truth and debate its reality. People are looking for someplace firm to stand. They are looking for something to give them confidence and hope. Draw them to yourself. May they see you for who you are. May they experience your love, peace, and compassion. May they pass it along to their shaky families, neighbors, friends, and coworkers. Amen.

Daily D – Isaiah 61:1-3

Isaiah 61:1-3 “The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.”

Daily D – Isaiah 60:19-22

Isaiah 60:19-22 The sun will no more be your light by day,
nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,
for the LORD will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.
Your sun will never set again,
and your moon will wane no more;
the LORD will be your everlasting light,
and your days of sorrow will end.
Then all your people will be righteous
and they will possess the land forever.
They are the shoot I have planted,
the work of my hands,
for the display of my splendor.
The least of you will become a thousand,
the smallest a mighty nation.
I am the LORD;
in its time I will do this swiftly.”

Daily D – Proverbs 18:22

Daily D – Isaiah 55:6-7

Isaiah 55:6, 7 “Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake their ways
and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.”

Daily D – Isaiah 49:15-16

Isaiah 49:15, 16 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast

Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.”
