READING LIST FOR POETRY AND PROPHECY

Today's Reading is Isaiah 16, Psalm 42

Isaiah 16.1-5, the Moabites fled to the fords of Arnon and the ‘rock city’ of Sela in Edom. Moab begged the leaders of Judah to provide them refuge from the Assyrians, like a shelter from the heat (v. 3-4) They wanted Judah’s help but not his God. Verse 5 is definitely Messianic and speaks of the son of David, Jesus Christ.

In v. 6-16, isaiah spoke about the pride of Moab, a very small nation compared to Babylon, but it is pride, nonetheless. Their pride prevented them from submitting to the God of Judah. In verse 9-11 Isaiah mourns for Moab, and this also reflect God grieving over the destruction of Moab. What spiritual lessons have we learnt here? Please post your comments below.

Psalm 42.1-11 with Commentaries, verse by verse
Thies is a psalm of the Sons of Korah asking for deliverance from the enemy. Just to reflect on v. 1-4. These Korahtites were longing to be with God at the temple. Do we thirst for God, the living God like the deer that pants for streams of water. Jesus is the only one who can satisfy your deepest longing. Jesus said to the woman at the well, in John 4.13-14, that he can satisfy the soul's deepest longing.
