🌙 Isaiah 65

Isaiah 65 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, ““I am inquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not called by my name.” 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, “Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed;” Isaiah 65 opens with these words: ““I am inquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not…” The line to keep is Isaiah 65:14: “Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish of spirit.” Carry the word “behold” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Isaiah 65:14: “Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish of spirit.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Isaiah 65? Then try this: Read “Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for…” 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.
