Bible Reading for September 7 (ONPP)
Isaiah 49 – 51, Psalms 64
Isaiah 49:7 – Jesus is despised by those that do not want God’s will but only their own. He is the Redeemer of Israel and the whole world but so many reject Him because of their pride of self–sufficiency and their strong desire to offend Him.
Isaiah 49:22 – The dispersed people of Israel were to be protected by the nations and venerated to be returned by those that are not ashamed of God’s provision for salvation.
Isaiah 49:25 – God is saying don’t fight with Israel or I’ll fight with you.
Isaiah 50:1 – Yes, God will protect Israel from unjust outside attacks but He will also punish them for their own iniquities as a father punishes a child for wrongdoing. God still loves them and they are His people so the punishment is meant to be a guide to repentance and reconciliation.
Psalms 64 – Yes Lord! These backbiters and spreaders of false tales are crafty but You my Lord confuse their speech and reveal their plot so that they are lost in their own narrative and people flee to Your righteous representatives.
Psalms 64:7 – God is in control of casting lots as well as random arrows.
II Chronicles 18:33 And a certain man drew a bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joinings and the breastplate. And he said to the charioteer, Turn your hand, and you shall bring me out of the army, for I am wounded.
