Words of Encouragement Scripture: Isaiah 16:1-5 1. Send the tribute lamb to the ruler of the land, from Sela by way of the wilderness to the mountain of the daughter of Zion. 2. Then, like fleeing birds or scattered nestlings, the daughters of Moab will be at the fords of the Arnon. 3. Give us advice, make a decision; cast your shadow like night at high noon; hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive. 4. Let the outcasts of Moab stay with you; be a hiding place to them from the destroyer. For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased, oppressors have completely disappeared from the land. 5. A throne will even be established in lovingkindness, and a judge will sit on it in faithfulness in the tent of David; moreover, he will seek justice and be prompt in righteousness. Look closely at verse 5. From Our Daily Homily by F.B. Meyer In those days thrones were not generally established in [lovingkindness]; but in blood, and cruelty, and savage might. Addressing Moab, the prophet advises that in the hour of her anguish, when her fugitives gather at the fords of the Arnon, in their mad flight from before the conqueror, they should make peace with their ancient enemies the Jews, and appease their hatred, that the outcasts may find shelter in the Land of Promise. And he goes on to say that when this should come to pass, their piteous appeal for protection will be generously met, because the throne shall at that time be established in [lovingkindness]. The ancient causes of enmity will be forgotten; the old feuds will be condoned; and the protection of Israel will be to the trembling crowds of refugees like the shadow of a high rock flung across the sand, when all the land is baking in the noontime glare. Who can this be that sits on the throne of David, combining [lovingkindness] with truth, seeking righteousness in His judgment, and swift to act on the behalf of the oppressed? None other than the Prince of the House of David, of Whose kingdom there can be no end. Are you a fugitive, driven from your nest, and rushing to and fro as a scared and trembling bird (verse 2)? Is the glare of the sun scorching you? Do you stand at the fords of the Arnon, with enemies behind, and death in front? Send lambs to the Mount of Zion; make peace with her King; invoke His forgiveness and salvation. Remember that though He is a great King, His throne is established in [lovingkindness]. And His shadow shall be as the night in the midst of the noonday; He will hide the outcast, and will not betray the wanderer. So, be encouraged, my friend! P.S.
