Day 076: Journey Through the Bible in a Year
Focus Verses for Today: Isaiah 58:3-5
Take a moment to pray, asking God for His understanding of Isaiah 56-61. Read Isaiah 56-61. Let’s journey!
Commentary: Those who keep the Lord’s commandments will be rewarded. Jesus spoke the same message. Yet, the wicked seem to prosper. Isaiah 57 explains that it is only for a short time, while on this earth, that the wicked will prosper. They will suffer for eternity. The righteous will be comforted and blessed for eternity. Isaiah 58 addresses the multitude of people who go to church regularly and know all the correct answers, yet in their hearts, they are sinning against the Lord. Worshipping the Lord must be done with a sincere heart. By lacking a sincere heart, we prevent God from being able to work in our lives and pour out His blessing upon us. In chapter 59, the sin of the Israelites, which drove the Lord from them, are laid bare. The chapter ends with the promise of a coming Redeemer. Chapter 60 is written as if the Redeemer has already come and speaks of what He did. Chapter 61 tells of the first and second coming of Jesus Christ. When it was written, Isaiah did not know which events applied to which coming.
