Week 136, Day 3: A mixed bag
Today’s Reading: Isaiah 32:1-20
Some thoughts from today’s reading…
The message from God turns to having a mixed message. The beginning speaks of good things to come with a righteous king reigning. Such righteous leaders will be like refuge from the wind or a storm or shade in a parched land. They would give the land sweet rest and comfort. But “within a year and a few days”, vs. 10, they would be troubled and the gathering from the land would cease and the palace would be abandoned. This is such a dramatic turn. The captivity for Judah will not be far off. The people needed to prepare themselves by seeking God. There would be a few good leaders before the fall but a complete turn around in Judah would not happen.
