Read and Digest Today’s Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional for December 4th, 2023 written to inspire and bless you!
TOPIC: GOD CARES FOR HIS OWN
TEXT: Isaiah 42:1-9(KJV)
42:1. Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
42:2. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
42:3. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
42:4. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
42:5. Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
42:6. I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
42:7. To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
42:8. I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
42:9. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Anglican Daily Fountain 4th December 2023 STUDY:
The Babylonians attacked and thoroughly defeated Israel, destroying the temple and plundering her treasure. They completely destroyed the political, social, economic and religious life of God’s people and took them to Babylon on exile. While in exile, many concluded that God had withdrawn His favour from them and was punishing them for their disobedience. Here, Isaiah reminded them that God had not abandoned them but was working to restore them to be a blessing.
He spoke of the Servant God was sending to bring justice to all. Jesus Christ is God’s chosen Servant in whom God takes delight and has empowered to carry out this task. He will bring forth justice and transformation to the nations. He will restore the full image of God in man.
Brethren, God’s people are never denied no matter what they face or pass through in life. God does not forget His own. He cares for them even in times of difficulty. He sent His trusted Servant to earth with a mission to grant salvation to all mankind and He will not stop until this is accomplished. Rather than God’s people dying due to disobedience, Jesus redeems us. He makes all things new, restoring God’s image in God’s people.
PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your plans towards me even in difficult times, Amen.
