In today’s reading, Isaiah reminds us that the high and lofty One makes His dwelling with the contrite and lowly. He is coming to fill His people with light and peace.
Before you begin
Ask the Lord to give you a fresh sense of wonder as you read His Word. Pray for understanding and for an open, humble, obedient heart to receive what He wants to say to you.

Review
Write a sentence or two about what you've just read. This could be a summary of the passage or an observation or highlight that stood out to you.
Reflect
In Isaiah 58, God reveals His righteous jealousy over how we express our faith. He desires that we delight in Him rather than in ourselves. How can you turn your heart toward Him in worship today?
Eventually every knee will bow before the power, majesty, and sovereign rule of Jesus. Whether we embrace God’s call to humility or not, we will be humbled. How much better to choose the path of humility and watch God use it to shape us more into His image. —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
Respond
