The sign of Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz

Join me each weekday for a short thought from the Bible to help us listen to what God is saying right now.These are today’s verses:“The Lord said to me, ‘Take a large scroll and write on it with an ordinary pen: Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.’ So I called in Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah as reliable witnesses for me. Then I made love to the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. And the Lord said to me, ‘Name him Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz. For before the boy knows how to say “My father” or “My mother”, the wealth of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria.’”Isaiah 8:1-4The Bible Uncancelled is a reader-supported publication.
