—Isaiah 52:7-12
by: Matthew Berg.
Here is the wonderful promise that has been turned into a modern praise chorus. "I am not afraid (oh No!), for the Lord my God is with me" (v. 12). Verse 7 has also turned into a modern praise chorus (for good reason!): "Our God Reigns" indeed! Verse 10 is the call to the People of God for what we are called to be as the People-beacons of truth proclaiming God's truth to the nations. It was Israel's call, and they failed. Will it be ours?
