OUR DAILY BREAD DEVOTIONAL 26 OCTOBER 2022 (WEDNESDAY)

TOPIC: WALK ON

MEMORY VERSE: [/b]My word . . . will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. - Isaiah 55:11

[b]Today's Scripture: Isaiah 55:9–11

Insight: To urge God’s people to return to Him (Isaiah 55:6–7), the prophet Isaiah emphasized that God’s ways aren’t like ours (v. . He’s far more merciful and forgiving; “he will freely pardon” (v. 7). And Isaiah vividly described the foundational reason for returning to God: He’s completely trustworthy and can be depended upon to do good for His people.

Isaiah used the imagery of precipitation (vv. 10–11) to illustrate this idea. In the ancient Near East, where rainfall meant the difference between famine and harvest, life and death, this comparison would’ve been especially powerful. Rainfall, Isaiah says, makes the earth “bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater” (v. 10). Like rain, God’s words and actions on behalf of His people always bring good—deep joy and a flourishing life (vv. 11–13).
