🏔️ Isaiah 26

Isaiah 26 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.” 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, “Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, yet they don’t see; but they will see your zeal for the people, and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.” Isaiah 26 opens with these words: “In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.” The line to keep is Isaiah 26:3: “You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.” Carry the word “keep” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Isaiah 26:3: “You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Isaiah 26? Then try this: Read “You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.” 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.
