☀️ Isaiah 66

Isaiah 66 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Yahweh says, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build to me? Where will I rest?” 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, “As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you. You will be comforted in Jerusalem.”” Isaiah 66 opens with these words: “Yahweh says, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build to me? Where will I rest?” The line to keep is Isaiah 66:10: ““Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;” Carry the word “rejoice” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Isaiah 66:10: ““Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Isaiah 66? Then try this: Read ““Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who…” 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.
