Listen to Devotion

On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine—the best of meats and the finest of wines. On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth. The LORD has spoken. In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”
Isaiah 25:6-9

A Feast for All His People

There is something special about those moments around the dinner table. Our bodies are nourished by the food we eat. Our relationships are strengthened by the laughs and tears we share. Conversations around that table make our houses into our homes. When families become so busy that they struggle to find the time to sit down and eat together, they long for the simple joy of just sharing a meal.

The prophet Isaiah speaks of a wonderful feast awaiting all God’s children. Our heavenly Father longs to have his whole family gathered on his mountain for a great feast. The Lord personally prepares a feast of rich food for all his people. He does everything he can so that his children might join him. However, this feast comes at great expense.

God sent his Son, Jesus, to reconcile our broken relationship with the Lord. He lived the perfect life none of us are capable of. He shared in our humanity, so that—by his death—he could destroy death that enfolds us. Jesus alone suffered for all the sins of the world. This is how the Lord earned our salvation and how committed he is to the feast.

The Lord God has saved us. One day we will enjoy eternity with him. Let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.

Prayer:

Lord Almighty, strengthen my trust in your salvation, until you bring me home to the feast you have prepared for me in heaven. Amen.
