June 8, 2026, Isaiah 42:1-9 42  Behold my servant, whom I uphold,      my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him;      he will bring forth justice to the nations. 2  He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice,      or make it heard in the street; 3  a bruised reed he will not break,      and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;      he will faithfully bring forth justice. 4  He will not grow faint or be discouraged      till he has established justice in the earth;      and the coastlands wait for his law. 5  Thus says God, the  Lord ,      who created the heavens and stretched them out,      who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it      and spirit...

June 7, 2026, Isaiah 41:21-29 21  Set forth your case, says the  Lord ;      bring your proofs, says the King of Jacob. 22  Let them bring them, and tell us      what is to happen. Tell us the former things, what they are,      that we may consider them, that we may know their outcome;      or declare to us the things to come. 23  Tell us what is to come hereafter,      that we may know that you are gods; do good, or do harm,      that we may be dismayed and terrified. 24  Behold, you are nothing,      and your work is less than nothing;      an abomination is he who chooses you. 25  I stirred up one from the north, and he has come,      from the rising of the sun, and he shall call upon my name; he shall trample on rulers as on mortar,  ...

June 6, 2026, Isaiah 41:1-20 41  Listen to me in silence, O coastlands;      let the peoples renew their strength; let them approach, then let them speak;      let us together draw near for judgment. 2  Who stirred up one from the east      whom victory meets at every step? He gives up nations before him,      so that he tramples kings underfoot; he makes them like dust with his sword,      like driven stubble with his bow. 3  He pursues them and passes on safely,      by paths his feet have not trod. 4  Who has performed and done this,      calling the generations from the beginning? I, the  Lord , the first,      and with the last; I am he. 5  The coastlands have seen and are afraid;      the ends of the earth tremble;      the...

June 5, 2026, Isaiah 40:9-31 9  Go on up to a high mountain,      O Zion, herald of good news; lift up your voice with strength,      O Jerusalem, herald of good news;      lift it up, fear not; say to the cities of Judah,      “Behold your God!” 10  Behold, the Lord  God  comes with might,      and his arm rules for him; behold, his reward is with him,      and his recompense before him. 11  He will tend his flock like a shepherd;      he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom,      and gently lead those that are with young. 12  Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand      and marked off the heavens with a span, enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure      and weighed the mountains in sc...

June 4, 2026, Isaiah 40:6-8 6  A voice says, “Cry!”      And I said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass,      and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. 7  The grass withers, the flower fades      when the breath of the  Lord  blows on it;      surely the people are grass. 8  The grass withers, the flower fades,      but the word of our God will stand forever. Isaiah 40:6–8 contrasts the extreme fragility and temporary nature of human life with the absolute permanence and reliability of God’s Word, reminding us to anchor our security in eternal truths rather than fleeting earthly realities.   If human life and achievements are as temporary as grass, are you spending more time building an earthly empire that will fade, or investing in the eternal kingdom of God?   When societal, political, or economic landscapes ...

June 3, 2026, Isaiah 40:1-5 40  Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. 2  Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,      and cry to her that her warfare is ended,      that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the  Lord 's hand      double for all her sins. 3  A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the  Lord ;      make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4  Every valley shall be lifted up,      and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level,      and the rough places a plain. 5  And the glory of the  Lord  shall be revealed,      and all flesh shall see it together,      for the mouth of the  Lord  has spoken.” Isaiah 40:1–5 declares that God initiates comfort, forgiveness, and renew...

June 2, 2026, Isaiah 39:1-8 39  At that time Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent envoys with letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick and had recovered.  2  And Hezekiah welcomed them gladly. And he showed them his treasure house, the silver, the gold, the spices, the precious oil, his whole armory, all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his house or in all his realm that Hezekiah did not show them.  3  Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and said to him, “What did these men say? And from where did they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “They have come to me from a far country, from Babylon.”  4  He said, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing in my storehouses that I did not show them.” 5  Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the  Lord  of hosts:  6...

June 1, 2026, Isaiah 38:1-22 Hezekiah's Sickness and Recovery 38  In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “Thus says the  Lord : Set your house in order, for you shall die, you shall not recover.”  2  Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the  Lord ,  3  and said, “Please, O  Lord , remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. 4  Then the word of the  Lord  came to Isaiah:  5  “Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus says the  Lord , the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.  6  I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and will defend this city. 7  “This shal...
