My God and My Country

My Daily Meditation

4 Fear not: for thou shalt not be ashamed, neither shalt thou be confounded: for thou shalt not be put to shame: yea, thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood anymore.

5 For he that made thee, is thine husband, (whose name is the Lord of hosts) and thy redeemer the holy One of Israel, shall be called the God of the whole world.

6 For the Lord hath called thee, being as a woman forsaken, and afflicted in spirit, and as a young wife when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

7 For a little while have I forsaken thee, but with great compassion will I gather thee.

8 For a moment in mine anger, I hid my face from thee for a little season, but with everlasting mercy have I had compassion on thee, saith the Lord thy redeemer

13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and much peace shall be to thy children.

14 In righteousness shalt thou be established, and be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear it: and from fear; for it shall not come near thee.

15 Behold, the enemies shall gather himself, but without me: whosoever shall gather himself in thee, against thee, shall fall.

17 But all the weapons that are made against thee, shall not prosper: and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. (a)

The Book of Isaiah Chapter 54:4-8, 13-15, 17

(a) Editor’s thought - Re: vs 15&17 - Remember that the battle is the Lords, it is He that gives us the spoils of His victory. 

Read One Psalm a Day

Psalm One Hundred Twenty Five

1 They that trust in the Lord, shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but remaineth forever.

2 As the mountains are about Jerusalem: so is the Lord about his people from henceforth and forever.

3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous, lest the righteous put forth their hand unto wickedness.

4 Do well, O Lord, unto those that be good and true in their hearts.

5 But these that turn aside by their crooked ways, them shall the Lord lead with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
