Today, I am reading and commenting on  Isaiah 52-56.

Since I am going to be on vacation from July 31-August 9 I have already written my blog posts for these days and scheduled them to be posted.  However, I may not be able to post a link to them on FaceBook, Gab.com, or MeWe.com during every day (or any day) during this time period.  So, please continue to visit my site to read my daily devotional.

There is so much in this passage which I want to write about that it would go beyond the length I wish to keep these entries.  I will start at the beginning and see how far I get.  The beginning of this passage makes me think of some of what is going on today.  In Isaiah 52:5-6 the following is written:

“Why are my people enslaved again? Those who rule them shout in exultation. My name is blasphemed all day long.  But I will reveal my name to my people, and they will come to know its power. Then at last they will recognize that I am the one who speaks to them.”

I don’t want to go into too much detail, but it sure looks like the line “Mu name is blasphemed all day long” applies in our society today.   Yet God promises that He will reveal Himself and those who turn to Him will know His power.  To the point where people will see what they had not been told, and understand what they had not heard about.  We live in a society where the haves are getting more, while the have-nots are finding it harder to make ends meet.  And don’t mistake, many of those talking about this are the haves getting more at the expense of those who have little.  They talk a good game, but use it to exploit those over whom they have power.  Yet God’s faithful love will remain, even when the mountains move and the hills disappear.  God’s thoughts are not like our thoughts and His ways are higher than our ways. Let us seek the Lord while we can find him and call on him now while he is near.  Do not be afraid to speak God’s word because it will accomplish all that He want it to.  Things may seem bad, and they may get worse, but God will bring His people home to Him.  Some of those He brings to Him will be those we consider foreign to Him.

Please read the passage.  When I read what I wrote above it does not convey what I tried to pull from the pasasge.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
