Today, I am reading and commenting on Isaiah 17-21.

There are three things which the prophet says at various points which spoke to me today.  They are not really connected the way I am going to put them together, but I think what I am going to write is part of what God has to say to us.  Isaiah told us that a day of the Lord is coming when those who rage against God will face destruction, a day when all of us will face terror.  That day will come because we have forgotten God, we have put our trust in things and people other than God.  Those who survive that day will be those who look to God, those who remember their Maker.  However, since all of us have sinned, there is terror waiting for us on that day.  The prophet tells us that such terror will be short-lived for those who put their faith in God.  In the evening, there will be sudden terror, but by morning its sources will be gone as if they never existed.  So, a terrible day is coming, if we put our trust in the Lord we need not fear that day (or any other day).

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