The Lord Is Our Judge

Your eyes will see the king in his beauty and view a land that stretches afar.

In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror: “Where is that chief officer? Where is the one who took the revenue? Where is the officer in charge of the towers?”

You will see those arrogant people no more, people whose speech is obscure, whose language is strange and incomprehensible.

Look on Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken.

There the Lord will be our Mighty One. It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams. No galley with oars will ride them, no mighty ship will sail them.

For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us.

Isaiah 33:17-22

The prophet Isaiah spoke of a time when God’s rebellious people would back to Him. “Your eyes will see the king in his beauty and view a land that stretches afar.”

During difficult time, the Lord enables us to see our lives from His viewpoint and regain hope. “For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us.”

Each day, we can choose to look down in discouragement or lift our eyes to “the land of far distances,” to the Lord who is “our Mighty One.”

Each day fix your eyes on Jesus and place your life in His care.

Fix your eyes on Jesus.
