Week 51 Day 1: 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?

Before I was born the Lord called me. I have labored in vain. Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand, and my reward is with my God.

Meditation: My Story
-
Identity - God never forgets us and never forsakes us: “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.” Let me remember His promise and be strengthened through His word.
-
Fidelity - When the servant of the Lord is being looked down upon, he knows the Lord will help him, so he is not disgraced nor ashamed. Have I ever been looked down upon in my service to the Lord? Let me receive strength and glory from Him.

Meditation: My Story
-
Identity - God wants us: “Do not fear the reproach of mere mortals or be terrified by their insults.” Am I afraid of the “mere mortals” in my heart? Or, do I have hatred when others hurt me? Let me hand off my grievances to God and let Him bring justice and righteousness.
-
Fidelity - How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation. Am I a true ambassador of the Gospel? Who else may I share the good news with and testify for His glory?

Week 51 Day 4: The Sin Offering ⇧ ⇩
Question
How does the Lord’s servant suffer for us for our sins?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
The appearance of the Lord’s servant was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness. But, he will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
-
The Lord’s servant had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
-
He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, familiar with pain, and we held him in low esteem.
-
Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
-
He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth.
-
Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin. The will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
-
After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.
Meditation: My Story
- Identity - The Lord’s servant had no beauty or majesty to attract us. His appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness. But he will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. Our true value is not determined through our outward appearance. Do I value how others see me more than how God sees me?
