Morning Devotional – December 18 (Scripture: Isaiah 42:1, 3–4)

Key Truth: Isaiah foretold God’s chosen servant—gentle yet powerful—who would bring justice and hope to the nations. This prophecy points to Jesus, whose humility and compassion shine through His birth and mission. He came for the broken and weary, offering restoration and peace. Reflection Questions: Where in your life do you feel bruised or smoldering? How does this promise bring you hope? How does this passage show God’s love and care not just for Israel, but for all nations? In what ways can you reflect the servant’s gentleness and commitment to justice in your own relationships and community?
