Today, I am reading and commenting on  Isaiah 26-28.

I knew from my first reading of this passage today what I wanted to touch on as I wrote this, but I was not quite sure how to put it together.  Isaiah tells us that all people learn righteousness when God’s judgement comes, but the wicked do not learn righteousness when He shows them grace.  They continue to do evil, failing to see God’s hand of judgement raised to strike.  Those who recognize that their only accomplishments were gifts from God turn to Him and weakly whisper a prayer.  Salvation does not come to the earth through our efforts.  Unfortunately, we live in a time when people think, just as they did in the days of Isaiah, that God’s rules are “do this, don’t do that” rather than recognize His call for us to use our judgement in how to love others.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
