Isaiah 48:1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

Family: Deuteronomy 21; Psalms 108–109. Secret: Isaiah 48; Revelation 18. (King James Version)

Today’s readings are tough and reflect at many levels God’s judgment. Indeed we do have a sovereign God, yet we so too have a God of Mercy. As you read and listen to these chapters try to keep in mind:

Psa 108:1  A Song or Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

Psa 108:2  Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

Psa 108:3  I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

Psa 108:4  For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

Psa 108:5  Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

Psa 108:6  That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
