☀️ Isaiah 18

Isaiah 18 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “For Yahweh said to me, “I will be still, and I will see in my dwelling place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”” Isaiah 18 opens with these words: “Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;” The line to keep is Isaiah 18:1: “Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;” Carry the word “land” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Isaiah 18:1: “Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Isaiah 18? Then try this: Read “Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
