Isaiah 23 mentions the defeat of one of Israel's historical enemies, Tyre. Tyre was the last nation mentioned in a long list of enemies whom God would defeat for the peace of Israel and for the peace of the nations. Isaiah 24 begins with an "apocalyptic vision of the destruction of all nations and humankind" (NIV Bible Compact Commentary, p. 365). These actions by God bring Isaiah to a point of high praise for his King (25:1-12). Isaiah 25:8 reminds me of Revelation 21:4. I think we all, like Isaiah, look forward to the day where there will be "no more tears." Have you allowed a future vision of what God says is to come (Read Revelation 21-22) bring you to a point of high praise?
Trip Lee sings a song that sums up well the book of Philippians. In his song, he raps the words, "Our life is nothing but Christ is all. So conduct yourself worthy of his righteous call." This is exactly what the apostle Paul is saying in Philippians 1:27. To watch the video by Trip, click on this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rny8qet-IQ
