Daily Scripture Threshing for Tuesday, May 23, 2023
Today’s Text: Isaiah 41:8-16
Key Verses: Isaiah 41:15 (ESV): “Behold, I make of you a threshing sledge, new, sharp, and having teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and crush them, and you shall make the hills like chaff.”

If and when the people of God know who they are called to be by the One who misnames no one, then never again will they despise themselves. Even when by your strength, number and nature, you are more of a worm. You may be weak, despised and ready to be crushed by the foot of every possible passerby, you may rejoice, for yours is this promise of a hidden strength to thresh the mountains.
Mountains in this context are spiritual images of any great and lofty potentate of earth that sets himself against God’s people so that they feel small. But we are reminded that serve the God that brings mountains down. He brought down the tyrannies of Babylon and every other enemy nation. As part of the kingdom of Christ on earth, you have been sealed for temporal, spiritual, and eternal help from all enemies. Your strength and status may be small but it is sufficient to crush any difficulty no matter how disproportional it is to your strength.
Rejoice, because you are part of a commonwealth of which the mountains do not or can not crush the worms. So, let them despise you as a worm; but you are blessed with extraordinary strength to thresh the mountains. Regardless of the height and weight of those mountains in your life, you shall beat them small till they be like dust or chaff so that they are blown away with the wind, and no vestige of them shall remain.
Quote for the Day: “Your size may be dared, but not the amazing power that is at work within you.”(Simon Olatunji)
Prayer: Dear Lord, please give me strength when I am weak, love when I feel forsaken, courage when I am afraid, wisdom when I feel foolish, comfort when I am alone, hope when I feel rejected, and peace when I am in turmoil — in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.
With all my love and prayers,
