Re-read the two passages that I read yesterday and the day before today (I definitely recommend doing this from time to time...sometimes just a day later you see something new).
One thought that came out last night during Perspectives that has to do with these two chapters and what we're talking about in my discipleship groups:
How often do we make the mistake of thinking that the main character of the Bible is us and not God?
We often ask: how does this apply to me? But a better question to ask is: what is this telling me about God, and how can I be a part of what he is doing? How can I hear what he is saying (both to me and others)?
Here's what Isaiah and Matthew are telling me about God today: he's all about those at the bottom, those on the fringes. When we take notice of the invisible, the voiceless, and when we work on their behalf, we line up with what he's doing. When we are the invisible, the voiceless, the powerless, then we should take comfort in knowing that God is tirelessly working to save us.
