Dia 4 de 31

  

August 4

Introduction

The LORD offers mercy and forgiveness and promises to bring the people out of exile in Babylon. The image of a banquet is used to describe God’s lasting covenant with the people. God’s “word” (verses 10, 11) has the power to create and save, and it carries the promise to bring the people out of exile and help them build a new Jerusalem.

Scripture Reading 

Isaiah 55:1-13

Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 55:6

Turn to the LORD and pray to him, now that he is near.

Reflect

How do you envision the invitation that the LORD offers in today’s reading? What is God’s “word” able to accomplish? Reread verse 8. In what ways are God’s thoughts and ways different from yours?

Pray

Lord God, you nurture and sustain me with your life-giving Word. Thank you for your invitation to come to you and receive your blessings of mercy and forgiveness. You are ever near, and your love fills me with joy. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Banquet caterers
