Isaiah 2:2, 5 (NRSV)
Read Isaiah 2:2, 5 on biblegateway.com
Verse 2In days to come the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; all the nations shall stream to it. Verse 5O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!
Devotion
The mountain of the Lord’s house. A mountain above all others. Above the hills that we stumble on in our way, above the obstacles, above the doubts and discouragements, will be the mountain of the Lord’s house, high above it all. As we make our way, our eyes fixed on the promise, our hope in the midst of despair, in the midst of hopelessness—ours and that of others. The mountain shining with God’s light above!
Prayer
O God! Enliven our hope this Advent. Give us the strength to scale up the obstacles that keep us from your mountain of light and hope! Amen.
