August 3
Introduction
God promises to allow the people of Israel to return to Judah and promises to arrange for their escape from Babylon. The most direct path back to Judah from Babylon was through the desert. Such a journey would be dangerous, but the LORD promises to provide water in the desert, just as he had done in the earlier exodus (Exodus 15:22-27; 17:1-7; Numbers 20:1-13).
Scripture Reading
Isaiah 43:1-21
Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 43:1b
[The LORD says:] “Do not be afraid—I will save you. I have called you by name—you are mine.”
Reflect
How will God rescue the people? What verses speak of God’s assurance of safety? What is the “new thing” that God will do (verse 19)? Have you experienced God doing “new things” in your life?
Pray
Lord God, you have called me by name, and I am yours. You alone are God, and I thank and praise you for your life-giving love. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 78:1-37: The psalm writer describes what God has done in the past for Israel.
Scripture
