Context
Isaiah 2 paints a future vision of peace and divine instruction, where nations seek the wisdom of God and abandon war.
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
––Isaiah 2:3 KJV
How to read it
Isaiah is saying that one day, everyone will want to learn from God and follow His ways. It’s like getting the ultimate life hacks, direct from the Creator Himself. You’ll hear people saying, ‘Let’s head to God’s place because He’s got the blueprint for living right.’ God’s wisdom is where we find true direction and purpose.
Let’s pray
Heavenly Father,
we praise You for Your wisdom and guidance that You have promised us through Your word. Thank You for being the ultimate Teacher, showing us the way to live life in its fullest. We ask that You draw us closer to You so that we may learn from Your ways and walk in Your truth. Help us to have open hearts and minds ready to receive Your teachings each day. We pray for a world that actively seeks Your guidance, spreading the peace and love You have for us.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
