Isaiah 15

Today's Passage: Isaiah 15

This section in Isaiah puts God’s sovereignty, judgment, and grace on display.

In his commentary on Isaiah 15, Matthew Henry writes,

“We cannot suppose that the prophet went among the Moabites to preach to them this sermon; but he delivered it to his own people, 1. To show them that, though judgment begins at the house of God, it shall not end there,—that there is a providence which governs the world and all the nations of it,—and that to the God of Israel the worshippers of false gods were accountable, and liable to his judgments. 2. To give them a proof of God's care of them and jealousy for them, and to convince them that God was an enemy to their enemies, for such the Moabites had often been. 3. That the accomplishment of this prophecy now shortly (within three years) might be a confirmation of the prophet's mission and of the truth of all his other prophecies, and might encourage the faithful to depend upon them.”

In short, what we see in this passage is that even in the midst of God’s judgment on those who are not his people, God still deeply cares for those who are.

Take a few moments right now, just to remind yourself of God’s deep care and love for you in Christ.
