Daily Devotion JUDGEMENT TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2 ISAIAH 65:1-7 Isaiah’s message is clear: things are not right. The desire of God’s heart is for all people to live in peace with God and one another, and to worship God and experience the transforming presence of God among them. But when nations and people don’t live in that peace, or pursue it, God’s judgment does its humbling and purifying work. When we think of judgment, we often imagine an angry old man carrying a big stick to punish us. The scriptural picture of judgment is quite different. Judgment makes right, straightens out everything that’s crooked. God’s judgment will level the playing field and set things to right. What needs to be set to right in your life? Ask God to make things right, and straighten everything out. God is here and God is at work, moving us and this world toward restoration. That’s God’s promise, and it gives birth to a peace that passes all understanding, one that even holds up in the hurry of the holidays.
