Please read Isaiah 54.

Meditate on verse 8.

“In an outburst of anger

 I hid My face from you for a moment,

but with everlasting lovingkindness

I will have compassion on you,”

Says the LORD your Redeemer.

God tells you about two of His attributes in Isaiah 54:8, His lovingkindness and His compassion. The LORD’s lovingkindness is His attitude toward you which contains mercy. Lovingkindness leads you to repentance. God’s compassion soothes, cherishes, and loves you deeply like a parent loves a child.

You may feel afflicted, storm-tossed, and not comforted today (Isaiah 54:11). Let the LORD’s promises encourage you. The LORD who has compassion on you says, “My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, and my covenant of peace will not be shaken” (Isaiah 54:10).

Pray Isaiah 54:13-14 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, thank You that You will teach ________ and me,

and our well-being will be great.

Establish us in righteousness

and keep us far from oppression. 

Do not let us fear,

 and do not let terror come near us.

In Your name, Jesus.”
