2022-2023 Week 77 Day 1: God is Incomparable ⇧ ⇩
Question
What has the Lord done?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
With whom will you compare God? To what image will you liken Him?
-
God brings out the starry host one by one.
-
God will lead all Israel. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
-
God said to Israel: “You are my servant; I have chosen you and have not rejected you.” So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
-
Idols, you are less than nothing and your works are utterly worthless; whoever chooses you is detestable.
Meditation: My Story
- Identity - Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Where do I seek strength? How may I be strengthened by God?

You have seen many things, but you pay no attention; your ears are open, but you do not listen.

When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” I shall remember this fact and let it strengthen me in difficult times.

Question
How may we praise the Lord for what He is doing?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
The God of Israel is the first and the last; apart from Him there is no God.
-
Do not tremble, do not be afraid. You are my witnesses.
-
All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless.

Sing for joy, you heavens, for the Lord has redeemed Jacob, He displays His glory in Israel.
Meditation: My Story
- Identity - No idol worshiper has the knowledge or understanding that a deluded heart misleads him; he cannot save himself, or say, “Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?” What idols am I still worshiping?
Prayer

2022-2023 Week 77 Day 4: Raise Up Salvation ⇧ ⇩
Question
Why did the Lord raise up Cyrus?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
I am the Lord, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself.
-
This is what the Lord says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him.
-
I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness. He will rebuild my city and set my exiles free.
-
Turn to the Lord and be saved, all of us ends of the earth; for He is God, and there is no other.
Meditation: My Story
- Identity - Does the clay say to the potter, “What are you making?” Does your work say, “The potter has no hands?” We shall obey under God’s sovereignty knowing He had created us and is the source of our peace. What doubt do I still have for Him and wondering why something happens not to my liking? Call out to God and try to accept His sovereignty over that “thing.”

2022-2023 Week 77 Day 5: When Righteousness Comes ⇧ ⇩
Question
What was the end of Babylon?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
The idols of Babylon cannot be saved, they will all go off into captivity.
-
Listen to me, Israel, I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
-
With whom will you compare God or count Him equal?
-
God make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.
-
Babylon will be defeated. They showed Israel no mercy. Even on the aged they laid a very heavy yoke.
-
Babylonians are lovers of pleasure, lounging in their own security and saying to themselves, “I am, and there is none besides me.” Therefore, woe to them.
Meditation: My Story
-
Identity - God promised: “Listen to me, you descendants of Jacob, all the remnant of the people of Israel, you whom I have upheld since your birth, and have carried since you were born.” These loving words have encouraged many, given them hope. Put these words into my heart and become my strength.
-
Integrity - God condemned Babylon: “You have trusted in your wickedness and have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you when you say to yourself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me.’” Do I believe no one sees my improper behavior? Let me repent before God without reservation, because He knows everything and sees my heart.

2022-2023 Week 77 Day 6: Calling for Repentance ⇧ ⇩
Question
How does the Lord call His people to repent and return to Him?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
Rebuke all those who take oaths in the name of the Lord and invoke the God of Israel-but not in truth or righteousness.
-
Rebuke all those who are treacherous and were rebellious from birth.
-
The Lord for His name’s sake delays His wrath; for the sake of His praise He holds it back from them.
-
Calling all to listen to the Lord, Leave Babylon, flee from the Babylonians! Announce this with shouts of joy and proclaim it. Send it out to the ends of the earth; say, “The Lord has redeemed his servant Jacob.”
Meditation: My Story
- Identity - We benefit from the Lord’s teaching and from His leading us to walk on the His way. If we obey, we’d be blessed because fearing God is the beginning of wisdom. Do I fear Him in how I act and am willing to seek His will? Or, do I just go my own way by my own will? Why is it that I sometimes don’t listen to Him?
