[:en]Scripture Reading: Isaiah 49
Biblical Truth: Isaiah 49 is a Servant song with God’s response to the Servant. Isaiah spoke about his mission both to Israel and to the Gentiles. The Servant experienced discouragement in His mission but found his strength in the Lord (v. 5). God’s responded to him with an introduction to a “Day of Salvation” (v. 8). Israel would be restored, exiled captive would be released and returned to the promised land ( vs. 9-12) and His people would greatly increase in numbers (vs. 19-21). Those who hope in Him will not be disappointed (v. 23) and all mankind will know that the Lord is their Savior and Redeemer (v. 26)
Personal Application: Let us put our hope in Him, ask Him to lift our spirit whenever we are discouraged.
Prayer: Thank you Lord, for bringing hope and comfort to us.[:]
